"This is a near perfect compilation. It serves as a great introduction to the artist and has all his most popular songs. This was the first Tom Petty album I had and I've since become a big fan. If you are looking for a place to learn about Petty, this is the place to start."  Reply

"This album surpasses shoegaze: it's just one of the best albums of the nineties and the opening trio is amazing although all three the tracks are very different. The positive vibes of this album are just hitting you like a hailstorm."  Reply

"Best album for relaxing up at the lake... No question. Put it on an old ghetto blaster, haul it down to the dock, and watch the bugs fly over the water and some canoeist paddle by. So much emotion, but so attached to their roots. Brilliant. Blue Rodeo`s best - and that`s saying alot. They have 5 ..."  [+]  Reply

"My boyfriend suggested that I download this, after he got me into bands like Led Zeppelin, The Stones, and Van Halen this year. The songs themselves are mostly good -- "Pride and Joy;" "Shake My Tree;" and "Absolution Blues" in particular. None of these songs are total stinkers, per se. The probl..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a pretty underrated album, this album grew on me quickly and there are many tracks here I found to be overlooked such as Liar, Chemical, Everyone Everywhere, Young Offender, etc. The singles are great too. I don't know how people aren't paying attention to this album."  Reply

"The best album of Heroes del Silencio. Best produced would be Senderos de Traicion, but EEDV is a heavier album plenty of extraordinary songs, almost any of them. El Camino del Exceso is its best song but nuestros hombres, flor de loto, bendecida, los placeres de la pobrez, la herida,...all are a..."  [+]  Reply

"He basically recorded a bunch of demos and handed them into Atlantic records as his new album. The reason being that the material was so personal for him he holed up at home for a while knocking these out. I'm fine with that as long as the song ideas are flushed out well -- but "raw cut" doesn't ..."  [+]  Reply
