"This posthumous release proves Stevie could do acoustic as well as electric, and the acoustic songs also allow the soul in his voice to shine through." Reply

"I tend to not think of this as a compilation, but rather all the songs the Vaseline's produced at one time. Fantastic album from beautiful songwriters." Reply

"This album is rated a little low on here. I think when you look at LTJ this might be their best album because it has the best blend of punk, and ska. They went a little more punk after this album, and were more ska and scrappy before. Don't get me wrong, that's still a great sound, but Hello Rock..." [+] Reply
"A journey through a psychedelic jungle. Not a collection of great melodies, more a collection of strange sounds and fascinating atmospheres." Reply

You feel anger, sadness, disgust, helplessness and also dark humour as if you are living it. Lou is simply amazing. The music supports the tale, as it did in Songs for ..." [+] Reply
"They don't make 'em like this anymore kids, unfortunately... This is what one might call "an absolute bonafide classic" ..." Reply
"The album with my favorite rap song on it of all time." Reply
"This is where Megadeth starts to go for more hard rock than pure heavy metal, but they do it with mostly awesome success. Dave was at his vocal peak here as well. Train of consequences, Toute le Monde, and reckoning day are among the bands classic songs. The band began a slow decline after this a..." [+] Reply
"Funnily enough, "Timeless" does feel like it's going on forever, but it is a remarkable record that still feels fresh and smooth. Must be some sort of magnum opus in the D&B genre." Reply
