"I go by my original story – greatest album ever made. It’s incredible, beautiful. ‘Killing Moon’ is genius – the best song ever written. It was the first song we recorded before we went to Paris to do the full album, and the chorus came to me. I woke up one morning and I know it was sunny, and I sat upright with words that God had given to me in my sleep. It wasn’t like a dream, I just woke up with the words, and that has never happened before or since. I legged it to find a guitar to get the chords down, and obviously to write the words down. Divine inspiration, and that was it. I haven’t really credited Our Lord with the lyrics before. Would I change anything about the album? I like my voice better now, but having said that, most people would disagree, so no, not really. I think it’s a complete thing. ‘The Yo-Yo Man’ is not my favourite, but it sets it up right for that album. I always used to do the first track and last tracks of the two sides as the core songs. People were familiar with ‘Killing Moon’ by then anyway, but imagine if they’d got to the album without hearing it – it would have been like, “Whoa, what the fuck?” And then ‘Ocean Rain’ - the closer of closers. All in under 40 minutes – it’s like a Sixties record. It wasn’t the easiest album to sell to America, but it certainly inspired other people in bands in America to go on and reap more rewards than we did. I’m surprised that Warners didn’t press the button [and promote it properly in the US]. In those days you’d hire a plugger. Wayne Coyne thinks it’s the best album ever, but it just didn’t have the exposure. And we weren’t really a band that toured for long periods - I’d miss Liverpool too much. More European influences I suppose. But then we were the best band in the world and we’d just created that… and you’re not going to bribe people?"

Great lyrics and fantastic tracks
Big love
Fantastic RNB songs with depth in the lyrics and music- Syd has one of the sweetest yet emotive voices. Easy to listen to with a relaxed vibe throughout the whole album.

Great pitch and tone, what a singer.
Could she have been a bit braver and diversified from the usual heartbreak songs? (0 more)
The third album from Adele....does it match up to the predecessors?

What an album this is! (2 more)
These guys have created a different sound, combining their Nashville folk roots with indie tones and a bit of hip hop thrown in! It's great.
Give these guys a listen.
Folk Hop?? Their very own genre!

This is an exceptional album from The Smiths, with wall to wall brilliant tracks. (2 more)
I think the pinnacle of Smithdom!
Cemetery Gates and There is a Light That Never Goes Out...to name but a couple of the excellent tracks.
Incredible!

What an album, just brilliant on all levels. (2 more)
The track listing alone tells you that this is phenomenal piece of work.
The title track, Brothers In Arms, just loses you in the atmosphere of the song. The guitar is immense.
