Reviews

  • electriclarryland's avatar
    A perfect 10 disc: Insanely deep, poetic and generational lyrics, otherworldly guitar playing and a rhythm section that flat out kills. One of the best rock records of any genre ever.

      An unbelievably good sounding album. Perhaps the greatest " best of" ever made. I'm listening to this all my life and as a 50 year old it still sounds and feels amazing.

        I have a copy with the missing dot and all the right matrices except there’s no “1” after the “A” is this some sort of variation?
