"Stirring and moving late career rebirth for Americas greatest band. Touch Of Grey is fantastic Throwing Stones is powerful with a message still relevant today, and West La Fadeaway and it seedy tales of The Chateau (Marmont) is fantastic as well. Truly well performed collection of high quality so..." [+] Reply
"I bought this on tape (a really state of the art playing medium at the time!) and played it over and over back in the late eighties, great for driving to. Latterly I have got the CD and more recently what I really wanted, the vinyl. This is a blisteringly good album with some fantastic lead guita..." [+] Reply
"Lyle Lovett makes another record of his trademark mix of jazzy western swing, coffee house ballads, and clever lyrics. Not quite as good as the previous outing but highly enjoyable. Recommended especially for those looking for something that sounds original." Reply

"Bought this because of a Rolling Stone review. It ended being one of my favorites. "Fade Away" should've been a hit single, and the rest of the CD is just as outstanding. Even after all this time, it still sounds great." Reply
"Such a mixed bag. Not sure how the same artist can write a track like Live & Let Die or Band on the Run as well as Ebony & Ivory." Reply
"The band’s first album in the 1980’s after being dormant for many years. They jump right into electronic music and synthesizers that they had begun to use in the late 70s but take it another step. The sound is comparable to New Order but less commercial. It does not reach the heights of the trilo..." [+] Reply

"This isn't Miami nor Fire Of Love , its more lush and produced . Breaking Hands is the best thing here and almost unrecognizable as a Gun Club track. Not as good as the 2 previous mentioned albums but good enough none the less" Reply

"Side one is better than side two, but still an overall "what the hell just happened", whirlwind of an album." Reply

"Love And Rockets A departure from densely sonic and chugging previous album 'Express.' Some songs have their expected rock sound, but mostly this is an acoustic based effort. Love and Rockets do a great job of combining acoustic music with experimental sounds. The lyrics are deep and full of inge..." [+] Reply

"Still one of Faith no more's best albums. Recorded with Chuck Moseley on vocals, it's a superb blend of arty rock, metal and indie, it's a great listen. We care a lot, is one of FMN's greatest songs, and there are plenty of other good songs here in, anne's song, faster disco, and, Chinese arithme..." [+] Reply
