"As straight ahead folk as they ever got. Absolutely lovely stuff. Sit down with a nice malt when everyone is in bed and chuck this on. Anyone into sny sort of folk needs to hear it." Reply

"This album is one of the best surprises I've had in a long time. Being so low-rated, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. In fact, it might now be my favorite album by Supertramp! (Or it's Crisis, I don't know). It is almost flawless, a very consistent and impressive effort. Don't overloo..." [+] Reply
"Yeah...no. I will admit that there are a few tracks I do like off this album. The intro for Jack Gell was a nice interlude intro. Also love the hell out of Susan Axelrod. Probably the best track that plays to the strengths of the qualities this album has. Also thought Murray De Pillars was also g..." [+] Reply
"Comments on the 2010 reissue. It was really positive news that Apple decided to reissue their four Badfinger albums and give them a remastering. The first CD release of "No Dice" dates back to 1992, and although the sound on the old release wasn't bad, this is a clear improvement. The number of b..." [+] Reply
"This post-bop/soul-jazz/fusion album defies categorization, but is easily classified as a masterpiece. The composition and presentation are outstanding.

"This album is a revelation. What is it doing soundtracking an unknown French art film?" Reply
"How 'We're Only In It For the Money' can be several albums in front of this is beyond me. Yes, this is a bit odd in parts but the musicianship is on the money. Memorable cover art is a bonus to an altogether absorbing album. My wife hates it and threatens to throw it out after me when I put it on!" Reply
"A classic 70's pop record. You can't get much smoother than this." Reply

"Angel Delight was Fairport's follow-up to their master-piece "Full House". Guitarist and songwiter Richard Thompson had left the band before the recordings for the album, but some songs had been written and rehearsed before he left.
