ReviewsRanked #6 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...Its musical daring, mantra-like incantations and kaleidoscopic use of language is still beyond cosy categorization....recalling his provincial, '50s Belfast youth with an almost feverish imigination and regret...", Ranked #19 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...ASTRAL WEEKS is Morrison going deep inside himself, to the far corners of his life and art, without a net or fear...", Ranked #15 in Nme's List of the `Greatest Albums of All Time.', "One of rock's crowning glories and, with Morrison at times entering an almost trance-like state of rapture, the very apex of his art.", "It’s a real hybrid; the bluesy twang of Morrison’s voice, the folk and classical underpinnings of the musical arrangements, the jazz cadences.", "ASTRAL WEEKS gets cited as a seminal album as often as rain falls. It’s Van Morrison’s masterpiece and an undisputed classic among music fans."
Additional InformationThe Celtic soul man's Warner debut is considered a rock & roll classic, but it isn't rock & roll at all.
