Anybody ever read music reviews there? I happen to think these guys are very helpful and technically accurate even if they'll probably step on some toes at least once or twice if you search for your favorite artists.

I think they are hilarious. lol They do have a lot of knowledge of popular music history ,too.

I believe at least one of them is a member of NPGMC , as they have reviewed several of Prince's online releases.

I like em ok, but their reviews are too short, and a lot of the time they'll not bother to review albums at all if they can't find them cheap and will sometimes compensate for a lack of a real clearly defined opinion of the album by just giving technical or historical information like who played on it or how it charted. I personally like Capn Marvel and George Starostin better as online reviewers even though they don't have anywhere near as large a collection of reviews. Capn marvel's frickin' hilarious (he doesn't have a prince page though, but he could because he has all of prince's albums and makes reference to him occasionally); he HATES Wilson and Alroy though lol

They are good. Some of their reviews I do not agree with, but still

This is CRIME:

Street Player (1978)
The mellowness of the previous record goes out of control here, turning most of the record into mood music more worthy of Steely Dan than an R&B/funk band. The worst offenders are "Blue Love," "Best Of Your Heart" and "Stranger To Love"; the only truly funky cut, "Take Time," sounds out of place among so much dross. There's one excellent ballad, "Stay," and the jazzy, sinuous "Destiny," but overall this is a real disappointment, perhaps signalling Khan's imminent departure. (DBW)

Best Of Your Heart is BEAUTIFUL! Blue Love, and Stranger To Love are also some beautiful compositions and nice background vocals. Dont even talk about my Destiny hell to the nah!

These songs take me back sitting on the floor coloring while my mother was havin a glass of Ol English 800 and a cigarette lis'nin' and singin to her records. Classic days touched
