Fun and danceable Dominican music with punk energy and Caribbean rhythms and excellent lyrics.

Gracias big sis por dejarme con MTV y Telehit encendido uno de los mejores trabajos Javier y compañía adoro todo este album representa el rock y el punk que estaba saliendo del país y aqui despegaron al estreñato, Deja atrás el sonido más ligero o "azucarado" del happy punk de su primer disco, Extrañando Casa, para adoptar guitarras más pesadas, estructuras complejas e influencias de rock alternativo,es un buen album recomendado porque tiene demasiados himnos y buenas canciones

I'm glad to have discovered Palace last year

If you write a song shorter than 17 minutes what's the point?

extraordinary, sublime.

A real moment in folk / country (?) … It feels like it could’ve been written in 1860 or 2011. An act that tragically folded in mysterious circumstances… thank goodness they left us this quiet gem.

Vividly remember driving to the Tower Records on South Street in Philly at midnight on release day to pick up two copies of this for myself and a friend. The first sounds of the opening track said it all, new beats, same heat. The second half of the album brought some real songwriting depth we haven’t heard from the Boys before. It might not be for everyone, but I loved it.

When I heard this album for the first time, it made me feel like I was the only one listening. Still does. Beautiful.

Always been more of a Bon Scott guy, but this is not only AC/DC’s best, IMO, but it’s one of the top 5 metal albums of all time. There isn’t one non-perfect note or feeling in this masterpiece.

What can I write that hasn’t been written? This was the first album I listened to as a 14 year old that said “There is music and then there is MUSIC.” ‘The Beautiful Ones’ dropped me to my knees. My path changed from a suburban teen listening to the Miami Vice Soundtrack to a long journey into ‘listening’.

Don’t ask me why I picked this Bowie album to review first… maybe it’s because of the melodies. They were so transcendent to me at the time. Sure it’s probably over sentimental. But that didn’t stop me from listening to this on repeat along with OK Computer in the spring/summer of 1998.

Melts my face off every time. ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’ is a gut punch.

Thought this was gonna be German but they are British? They know how to make someone stand up and just dance.

This is my favorite Pink Floyd album and is maybe the best introduction album for non-fans that want to dip their toe. This actually gives you their full range in just a handful of songs. And if David Gilmour isn’t one of the top 5 guitarists of the 1970’s… then I guess I just don’t know what I’m talking about.

Surreal

Ok. So I bought this as a kid because of ‘You Can Call Me Al’ in ’86. But I didn’t REALLY listen to it until maybe 1991/92. I quickly realized some songwriting was different than others. When I HEARD the title track with fresh ears, it crushed me.

THE gold standard for a 60’s Soul/R&B album. This mother will drop you to your knees. This is also the album that introduced me to Stax drummer, Al Jackson, Jr. One of the most influential drummers no one seems to talk about. Oh and by the way, ‘Day Tripper’ is right up there with Stevie Wonder’s ‘We Can Work It Out’ for best Beatles cover tune ever.

I wish I was listening to rock stations when this bad boy hit the airwaves. (I was seven.) It must’ve blown the doors off the joint. No knock to the guitarists at that time, but no one changed the direction of rock guitar faster or more prominently than Eddie Van Halen did with this album. ‘Eruption’ continues to be the Mount Everest of tunes for aspiring rock guitarists to master almost 50 years later.

First and foremost, this is arguably the best Rolling Stones album. Then mix in the fact that Keith Richards played every single guitar part except for slide on ‘Country Honk’ and the title track. (Hats off to Mick Taylor for those.) Read the story behind Keith’s writing of Gimme Shelter, and it changes the way you listen to the whole album. It’s not necessary to enjoy it obviously, but it adds a delicious twist.

In my opinion, Johnny Cash is America. He sits with artists like Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding and Bob Dylan in that regard. While ‘At Folsom Prison’ is the apex of JC, Orange Blossom Special is his best studio album. Give it a listen and realize this guy was playing chess while most were playing checkers.
