Return to form, after some not-so-successful albums during the Arista period.
The interplay of guitar with Robert Quine is splendid.

A bit of a chilly record, but with its classy moments, especially "My Kind Of Lady." Unfortunately, the party was over. more

The term Power Pop for this album has always seemed a bit "restrictive" to me, even though I love the genre. There’s more to this album; it’s definitely a bit derivative, but a lot will be revisited later by other bands, like the guitar riffs, for example, see R.E.M.
Beautiful! more

What can I say, bought in the late '80s, spent a lot of time listening to it and understanding it. Acidic, psychedelic, and rock. Here it veers towards Neil Young and Television, one of my favorite records. more

An underestimated chapter of Deep Purple, who here present almost a "Supergroup." Glenn Hughes, Tommy Bolin, David Coverdale alongside veterans Ian Paice and Jon Lord. A highly enjoyable album. more

The vote could easily be either 5 or 1... anyway, since I've restored a bit of apparent order to my life, I haven't dared to listen to this album again. Trout Mask Replica, in certain respects, seems like Please Please Me compared to this... more

The Geniuses of Melody ALL (the Wilsons, the McCartneys, the Costellos...) would not have frowned upon having a "Flying On The Ground Is Wrong" among their own jewels - pure supreme beauty of notes, nothing less. I've always felt the echo of this piece in "Swinging Party" by the Replacements. Perhaps because the initial chord sequence is strikingly similar... more

"Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" - rarely have two guitars blended so sublimely. Probably the best Clapton ever in an undefinable album, definitely the most genuine, passionate, desperate. R.I.P. Duane, now and forever. more

Neurosis — A Sun That Never Sets | DeRank™: 3,00

Essentially perfect album, except for one small insignificant detail that I just can't accept: the fade-out ending of a few too many songs! Because it's fine to convey the sense of cosmic inconclusiveness of a post-society trying to rise from its own ruins, and it’s okay that the tracks are always quite lengthy... but ending songs with a fade-out is a trick that I can tolerate once or twice at most, not more! more

I don't know... I think I've listened to it 1750 times or so. And when I listen to it for the 1751st time, I realize once again how "Methods Of Dance," and it's certainly not the only title one could mention, is simply one of the SUM expressions of Art-Music. more

There are records that are said to be PERFECT. These records do not represent a very high number. The record in question falls into that category. more
