<li>‘Have you discovered Ruth and Martin’s Album Club yet? It’s just brilliantly written, and now I want to listen to all the great music’ <b>Dara Ó Briain</b></li>
<li>‘I love Ruth and Martin's Album Club. Classic albums (and oddities) given a fresh hearing, and Martin's capsule reviews remain the best in the business. The man knows his stuff – heck, he even found an album <i>I'd</i> never heard’ <b>Ian Rankin</b></li>
<li>Music geek paradise. Like the chat you have in the pub after the gig, with the shamanistic roadie who has seen it all. But, unlike that guy, these guys care what YOU think, and don't nick all your fags’ <b>Hugo Rifkind</b></li>
<li>‘I grew bored of music criticism a long time ago because the writer has been taken out of it and most read like glorified artist biogs. Ruth and Martin's Album Club works on a more personal, human level and has become my favourite music website’ <b>Martin Carr, The Boo Radleys</b></li>
