"This is a superb soundtrack album. I love the main synth sound so much I went and bought a GX80! The atmosphere created puts you in the movie. The opener and Rachel's song are personal favourites." Reply

"The first three are mediocre, and the last three are alright, but that middle stretch of four songs is spectacular. Something about Most Of The Time especially resonates with me so damn much. 85/100 (Very Good)" Reply

"Not his best album, but perhaps his most ambitious and strange. It's definitely a grower and will alienate fans of Purple Rain and other hits, aside from the baroque pop classic "Raspberry Beret", which everyone loves as much as the next Prince fan. This one is tied with Lovesexy and The Black al..." [+] Reply

"Amazing to say but this one is a late find for me. But now its in the third place in My Chart.You ask me why? This album is made in 66, same year as Blonde on Blonde, before VU Nico, before the Stooges came and the scene start to really rock, before the amazing krautrock albums. The Monks were a ..."

"Overall: 9.0 Top Tracks: "Angel of Harlem", "God Part II", "All I Want is You" Pompous as all hell, but with U2 that's not a valid criticism, kinda just goes with the territory. It's as underrated as it is pretentious, but it's also one of their best collections of songs up to this point." Reply

"2013 is turning out to be an amazing year for electroacoustic albums. This is easily Tim Hecker's most dynamic, attention-grabbing work. Also possibly his best. Here, the melancholic stupor present in his other work gives rise to fear and desperation, with moments of refuge scattered throughout. ..." [+] Reply

"Though not bad, there's something about this album that just... bothers me. With that in mind, there's plenty of personality, and plenty to really like. Definitely very a lot to revisit." Reply

"Beautiful transition from the indie rock of stunning "My Woman" to this dense yet elegant barroque pop. The album is solid, consistent and enjoyable as a whole, with clear peaks in "Lark", "All Mirrors", "Impasse" or "Chance", but I'm obsessed with some of the minor tracks as well. The 2010s were..."
