"Yes, I've listened to every White Stripes record, the Raconteurs records, and Jack White's solo works... This is White's best record. Horehound's thematic solidarity makes even Elephant sound a little scattered in ideology. In my opinion, it has his career's best grooves (Treat Me Like Your Mothe..." [+] Reply

"It's Iron Maiden meets Guns 'n Roses meets Skid Row, Motley Crue and Metallica. This is A7X's breakthrough album, and with good reason. The juxtaposition of each track is such that the whole album fits together in a very deliberate way. Once heard, songs like 'Beast and the Harlot,' 'Trashed and ..." [+] Reply
"I understand why someone who is into the earlier releases by Slipknot would find this soft or dull or commercial, but I have to say that I (who to be honest couldn't stand listening to their earlier albums) found this quite enjoyable. I don't consider it great, but there are some very catchy song..." [+] Reply
"This album really sounds like an extension of "merriweather post pavilion", and that's the best compliment I think I can attribute to this EP. "what would I want? sky" is as good as any of the best stuff from MPP. "graze" borrows from its song structure starting atmospheric and mesmerizing until ..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic retro album that really captures that pre psychedelic sixties sound. The sounds of Dusty Springfield and Lulu are all over the record. As a deliberate attempt to make a sixties drenched album, it works brilliantly. Pity she couldn't follow it up." Reply

"Before commenting on the listening process, I have to confess my love for the cover of this album. One might argue that it's a completely irrelevant aspect, but here it's not so much about Its aesthetic value as a standalone piece of art, but more as an accurate representation of what you are abo..."

"Weezer at their silliest. Negative Nancy's will point to a band unwilling to age gracefully or that they have become a satire of themselves. It has enough personality that reminds me of the their first 2 albums. That's refreshing because Make Believe and the Green Album lacked it. Similar to the ..." [+] Reply

"I'm honestly really surprised Shiina Ringo doesn't have more recognition from this site. A lot of people call her a J-pop artist, although I think pop rock or simply alternative rock are probably more appropriate; that's not all that important and perhaps me (being primarily a fan of rock music) ..."

""Burial At Sea" always makes me choke up for some reason. Such a sad song. Reminds me of "Adagio In G Minor."" Reply
