Ram has just received its best review ever! On the very respected site Pitchfork, it has received 9.2 out of 10! http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16651-ram/
Well, I don't think that is the best review ever of Ram. Here's the review made by George Starostin for example: http://starling.rinet.ru/music/paul.htm#Ram "This is unquestionably the best pop album of 1971 and one of the best pop albums of the entire decade. A true classic." The allmusic review es nice too...http://www.allmusic.com/album/ram-r12641/review "These songs may not be self-styled major statements, but they are endearing and enduring, as is Ram itself, which seems like a more unique, exquisite pleasure with each passing year." And in spanish there are others good reviews of this album, especially good is this essay, is very very interesting: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftheword.beatlesperu.com%2Fram-un-fantastico-album-en-el-cenit-del-rock%2F " In the scenario of 1971, the only albums which in my opinion would be able to compete with those already named Who's next, Sticky Fingers and Led Zeppelin IV. However, the proposed Ram is definitely more innovative and daring than those of the aforementioned albums the Stones and Zeppelin, which continue the line of his previous works, using as source the catalog of blues and traditional country with few surprises relation to gender (perhaps only Latin jazz in the case of those commanded by Jagger). Who's next oozes only, but from a different proposal, creativity, melodic and harmonic richness and the innovative spirit (if the use of synthesizers), which is in RAM, but it surpasses musical daring."
