"Low create mezmerizing psalm-like hypnotic minimilist music that is way ahead of its time. The languid guitar sound, soft harmonies and radiant melodies are modernist variations of the themes first coined by Nick Drake that also hint at the Cowboy Junkies, Luna and Galaxie 500. Key track: Lullaby." Reply

"I'm still listening to this, so I'll update this review in a little while, but Weyes Blood has been slowly working on her craft over the years and is working herself into the generational pantheon. A contemporary artist making "classic" songs is rare, so I'm sure the anti-pop elite of this site s..." [+] Reply

"This album is a cacophony of joy. Guitars, horns and, "lobotomy beats", you can hear the influences talking over each other like drunk students solo cups in hand at some epic party. Nicotine and Gravy is a highlight towards the end it is punctuated by a James Brown snare onto a Stevie Wonder clav..." [+] Reply

"Very much the most underrated Springsteen album. This was a mature answer to all the success of BitUSA, a reckoning of the price of too much fame with some of the most introspective, personal tracks he's written, like Walk Like a Man, Two Faces and Brilliant Disguise. Spare Parts and Cautious Man..." [+] Reply

"Sting is excellent for his voice and his message. Consistently reflective and sometimes haunting he makes interesting music. I prefer the debut and Ten Summoners Tales over this, but I rank Nothing Like the Sun 3rd or 4th in his Catalogue Fragile is a fantastic song. Englishman in New York is a f..." [+] Reply

"One of the most complex and deeply rooted pieces of loud music ever recorded. Vile, poetic, emotional, and pure, Jane Doe is indeed a piece of music history. It needs more than one listen to get into, but once it has rampaged through your mind, it will quickly become one of the best things you'll..." [+] Reply

"I used to compare Phil Elvrum's works as the musical equivalent of Lars Von Trier's movies. The Boldness is combined with a sense of creativity that spills emotion all over the listener, He/She is ripped out from the comfort zone and thrown out in the middle of a hurricane without any clues of ho..."

"This album defined how rock N' roll riffs and solos would look like from ten years and so on, It is a remarkable stand point on 50s guitar music, and Chuck is the first guitar god from Rock History." Reply
