"Very good indie rock album. Best 5 songs average is 89/100 and so the album gets 90/100. I like this sound. Best songs are "Cash machine", "Tied up too tight", "Move on now" and "Better do better" all 90/100, followed by "Middle eastern holiday" and "Hard to beat" both 85/100."  Reply

"Devils & dust is Bruce springsteen's follow up to 2002's, the rising. Harking back to the acoustic sparseness of the, Nebraska, and, ghost of Tom Joad, albums, although there is a lot more band instrumentation this time around. The title track, is excellent, and the best song on the album. It's k..."  [+]  Reply

It is with this ensemble that Plant has put together his most Zeppelinesque post break-up release. Released on Sanctuary Records/Es Paranza Record..."  [+]  Reply
