"The first big record (album) from Pulp. Songs like "Acrylic Afternoons", "Happy Endings", and of course "Do You Remember The First Time" are such classy tunes. Sounds fresh and great even now, 25 years later." Reply

The weird thing is that there's nothing bad on here, it's just good all the way through. That's it's problem. It's so consistently good that nothing really stands out. Yesterday'..." [+] Reply

"Pretty easily Kendrick’s most fun and intentionally “messy” project. The common thought at the moment (a day after release) is it feels like a mixtape with the possibility of another, more conceptual album yet to come.

"Sharon Van Etten sits on the singer-songwriter spectrum somewhere near Chan Marshall and Will Oldham. This particular album is mostly understated. Another reviewer might have called it "maddeningly slow" and "boring." I have called it a "slow burner." Your call." Reply
