This is really a masterpiece, a gem , a diamond , an enormous find. Released in 1971, it is one of the most accomplished prog-folk album ever.

I love both of the b-side songs on here, and love hearing my boys go dubstep even if it’s dated. But I mainly bought this for the DVD, and it doesn’t disappoint. If you’re a diehard, get this!

I love this album because they fixed everything that needed fixing from their first effort. The Arnold voice sounds better, the songs are better, and I love the second CD with the covers. Quad Brutal is still my favorite, but I love listening to this one too!

The 2nd Album showcases Mine's exceptional skill on both alto and soprano saxophones, matched by the aggressive rhythm section and heartfelt improvisations from each member. The interplay between the musicians—particularly the fiery exchanges and lyrical runs—cements this recording as a cornerstone of Japanese jazz.

I was expecting more from these guys, but it’s more of the same Frontiers color-by-numbers band that doesn’t do anything interesting. It’s not bad, but it’s probably not worth it because it’s so nondescript.

These guys are the lighter, more rounded and polished side of modern AOR. Street Rummer encapsulates everything they’re about: soft vocals, soaring melodies and solid composition. Recommended!

Chez still has an amazing voice, but the songs here are collectively better than her last effort (but the track Power Zone is still her greatest). This one is a little more sexualized than the last CD, which is kind of annoying because it ruins some of lyrics by forcing the image, but it’s tolerable. Overall, if you liked her first two albums, you might like this one better!

A superb piece of modern day Marillion and ranks as one of the strongest releases of the band's modern era. Different in places, reassuringly familiar in others. Emotional, honest and large in scope, yet still claustrophobic, secretive and intimate.

Pat Metheny Unity Group is the new PMG, and Kin is as strong a statement as could be expected from an artist who has, over the decades, consistently pushed himself into new territories with fresh colors, previously unheard compositional constructs, growing acumen as a guitarist—and new musical partners to help him realize wherever his muse is taking him.

Permanent Vacation (1987) is widely hailed as the album that saved Aerosmith, marking their successful comeback to mainstream stardom through polished, radio-friendly glam rock. Featuring massive hits like "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Rag Doll," the album revitalized the band, resulting in highly energetic, catchy performances and a polished 80s sound. Great Sound from Japan (SHM ) and nice Cardboard Sleeve . Lov‘it

Released in September 1989, Aerosmith's Pump is widely regarded as a 7x platinum-certified masterpiece that cemented their 80s comeback, blending polished glam-metal production with gritty hard rock. Produced by Bruce Fairbairn, the album features hits like "Love in an Elevator," "Janie's Got a Gun," and "What It Takes," with critics praising its high-energy, infectious songwriting, and balanced, "no-filler" tracklist. Best Sounding from Japan (SHM) and nice Cardboard Sleeve . I love it

TKO's 1979 debut, Let It Roll, is generally reviewed as a melodic, keyboard-heavy, and polished pop-hard rock album, often compared to 70s acts like The Who, Boston, and Foreigner. While featuring strong vocal performances from Brad Sinsel, it is often seen as a lighter "bar-band" precursor to the heavier sound of their celebrated follow-up, In Your Face.

The Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack is a masterclass in modern symphonic composition, showcasing Masashi Hamauzu’s unique blend of classical theory and electronic textures.

It is a vital addition for any listener seeking the definitive orchestral version of these timeless tracks.

The NieR: Automata Original Soundtrack, released on March 29, 2017, is widely considered one of the most evocative and original scores in gaming history. Led by composer Keiichi Okabe and the MONACA team, this 3-CD collection masterfully blends melancholic acoustic pieces with industrial elements and haunting vocals. The standout feature is the "Chaos Language" vocals by Emi Evans and J'Nique Nicole, which use a fictional, futuristic language to evoke deep emotion without distracting from the game's narrative.

It is a profound, genre-defying work that remains a benchmark for how music can elevate a digital world into a truly emotional experience.

This an absolute treasure for fans of Yasunori Mitsuda’s legendary score.

I can't remember if the packaging was reinforced, but the overall packaging was very good—there was no damage at all. I received it about 10 days ago, and it was great. This is the most perfect packaging I've ever received for an overseas purchase!
