It’s da bomb!!
So many great tunes on this album. Supertramp is one of those prog rock groups that everyone knows a tune from, but couldn’t tell you the bands name.

Everyone knows the single Breakfast in America and The Logical Song nut there’s so much more to the album than just those 2 songs.

My favourite song is Take The Long Way Home, lots of harmonica and bouncy piano. The whole album is worth a nosey!

Old school southern blues rock
As far as bluesy southern metal albums go, this is a corker.

Sweet Mountain River is my favourite song on he album as it is such a dirty blues song. I love it.

It’s a great album for driving to and also for part of your summer soundtrack.

The vocals are exceptional and the tightness of the keys, guitars and drums make it a well produced album.

If you like bluesy metal bands like Clutch, Black Stone Cherry, etc. then you will love these guys.

Under-rated band gets new lease of life
Bear Vs Shark are one of those bands, too heavy for the indie kids, too indie for the hardcore kids.

This is discordant indie rock with powerchords, or post hardcore to some. Indie gone punk. And it's done brilliantly. Here their first two albums get remastered and put on one disc. The gruff gravel vocals are raw and blistering and Buses No Buses is just an anthem. Brilliant band and so underrated

"To me, there is a holy trinity of hardcore bands, and the first among these is, obviously, Black Flag. They pretty much invented the genre, and as much as it's become boringly de rigeur to be "into" Flag and have a tattoo and a t-shirt (guilty on both counts), and as much as Greg Ginn seems intent on fucking their legacy to death, this record is still pretty untouchable, not just as a groundbreaking musical statement, but also because of the raw fucking attitude in every cut."

"I had no clue who they were [at the time]. There was a band called Zero Seven and a few other bands around at that time that were in the same realm in that the artists aren't visible. I challenge a lot of people to recognise these artists! You could sit next to them in the cinema and you wouldn't know. But this was a great album to just have on. And to be doing something else to. Having them on in the kitchen or garden – they're really great records to have as the backdrop."

"Half the album's great, half the album's not so great - the jamming stuff. The MC5 sounded dangerous, and they looked it, too. They were serious: Wayne Kramer wasn't acting like a criminal, he was a criminal. There's a difference. They didn't joke around; they were serious about it, and it could be horrible. The first record was the good one. Their potential never developed into what it should have been, but there are always bands who never get to the next level, or who are never as good as their earliest material."

"I remember being very angry at their album title being Nevermind. I thought Nevermind? Have you lost your bollocks or something? I was drawing a line on it all, perhaps too sharply, but I have to say “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is one of pop music’s all-time greatest. That song is firmly embedded in my psyche. So, I forgive them. Most bands can’t come up with one complete song, and sometimes one is enough. By “Heart-Shaped Box,” it was all starting to sound a bit suicidal. I felt it coming."

"I’m a gigantic music fan. I love fifties rock‘n’roll, Chess, Sun, Motown. All the Merseybeat bands, Sixties girl groups, folk. This is just so cool: it’s a combination of the way it’s produced, the cool pop/R&B sound, and Freda’s voice. Its kinda kitschy in a way – y’know, it’s got a really up-tempo tune – and, the first few times I heard it, I was, like, totally into the coolness of the song. It was only on the third or fourth listen I realised the lyrics were so fucking heartbreaking"
