"Great, great memories with this one. It never gets old and I always enjoy it a lot. It also has one of my favourites ever: 'Send me An Angel'. What a great way to end a classic album"  Reply

"Worthy follow up to "Vivid". "Type" and "Solace of You" are two of the best tracks these guys ever did. It's a pity they disappeared not long after this was released."  Reply

"In my opinion, this - along with Vai's two albums with David Lee Roth's supergroup - the Van Halen-ish "Eat 'em and Smile" and the very Vai "Skyscraper"- are his best in the popular idiom.

"Even though this album is widely considered a Paul Westerberg solo album for the purposes of this review it will be considered as The Replacements final release The Replacements in many ways echo the career of R.E.M with 'All Shook Down': both darling indi bands who find major label success only ..."  [+]  Reply
