"A very under rated album that is easily their best post-Fast Eddie effort. Angel City and Going to Brazil are two of their best songs ever, R.A.M.O.N.E.S. is a wonderful tribute song, and 1916 is a genuinely moving song that ranks with the greatest anti-wars songs of all time."  Reply

"Buddy really nailed it with this one and helped usher in yet another blues revival. His singing and playing are both so full of soul and expression and the production is crystal clear. Magnificent modern blues album!"  Reply

"A return to form. Definitely her best album since the live album Shadows & Lights and one of the best albums she has made. Great tracks include Slouching Towards Bethlehem, Come In From The Cold & Passion Play other highlights include The Only Joy In Town, Nothing Can Be Done & Cherokee Louise."  Reply

"THE BIG FOUR PLUS ONE I don’t care what anyone else says. The Screaming Trees were one of “The Big Four” of grunge. Call it the Big Five if you have to. Knock out those pussies in Pearl jam if you have to. I really don’t care. But they belong. They were there from the start. Cranked out SEVEN con..."  [+]  Reply

"Some lovely moments on this album from the whimsical 'Moving the Goalposts' to the heart-felt 'Tank Park Salute' Billy proves he is more than a political activist and charms the listener with his well crafted songs."  Reply

"This is Mexican Ska at its best. It contains a themed set of songs about living in the biggest Latinamerican city; the album celebrates the idea of life as a carnival, and as a group of minstrels would do they sing tales of urban heroes from the slums and traditional neighborhoods -- called 'veci..."  [+]  Reply

"Uncle Tupelo's sophomore release finds them expanding their sound a little bit, while sticking to the basic alt-country and cowpunk that made their first effort, No Depression, such a success (critically, anyway). My favorite track here is probably Jay Farrar's explosive and disaffected guitar ro..."  [+]  Reply
