""mother and child reunion" and "me and julio down by the schoolyard" are both here. This is as good as you'd expect from the chief songwriter and main voice of simon & garfunkel. You still hear the same street-wise, folksy common-folk narratives woven into songs as catchy as he is short. There ar..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is honestly perfect. It's everything I wanted it to be, and more. The lyrics and hooks have improved from the already great "Saturation," and the group has even more personality and character in this one. If I didn't know about the background of the group, I wouldn't have known who was..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is definitely one of Janet's best. It's one of those rare albums that is fantastic from start to finish. "Rhythm Nation 1814" was quite a contrast to her mega breakthrough album, "Control." "Rhythm Nation 1814" would spawn a jaw dropping SEVEN top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. A rec..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a very solid record in terms of music. 10 solid songs, with good melodies, and interesting instrumentation. The problem lies in the lack of stand out material. Everything here is very simple, and in many ways very 50s. Tracks like Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Save Me, Play the Game, ar..."  [+]  Reply

"Ok, so screw the Fantano review, I'm giving my own feedback now. I'm not the biggest Tool fan, but as far as comebacks go this is a pretty good one (7/10). They are not reinventing the wheel or anything with this record, but that's because they don't need to. It all feels very Tool, which I would..."  [+]  Reply

"The 1975's 3rd album 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships ' is quite simply a stunning album and clearly one of 2018's best albums. The album is a perfect commentary on the condition of the always online connected millennial and their struggles. For proof look no further than this line from..."  [+]  Reply

"The album consists of four extended jams of 18-19 minutes duration that combine minimalistic keyboards, outstanding jazz horns on three of the four jams (particularly, Hopper's 'Facelift'), saxophone, flute and, in Robert Wyatt, some of the greatest drumming ('Slightly All The Time') and expressi..."  [+]  Reply
