"This is a decent album, it really is. Yet, I just don't see the appeal. If someone could explain it to me, I would genuinely appreciate that. To me, there's a lot of sameness, and a lot of so-so songwriting. I'm listening to this album more and more, and I'm starting to see it, but I still feel l..." [+] 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

"This was my first experience of listening Yes. So it was a wonderful experience. The first side is full of great tracks. The second side not quite as strong although it ends very well with Hearts. What a comeback. Still I can understand why this may have annoyed many Yes fans - it really isn't Yes!" Reply

"Shakes head. Why do I now appreciate Kanye productions? Why have I "slept on" Common for all these years, knowing full well how great his voice and style is? No idea but I do know that (apart from the odd dodgy lyric, it's rap music after all) this is a fine record. Possibly better than resurrect..." [+] 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

"My favourite thing about this album is that you can tell it took 16 years by the sound of some of the tracks. 'If I Was a Folkstar' for example sounds like an early-00's Daft Punk track, 'The Wozard of Iz' also sounds like it was from about the same time. Despite the fact that some tracks may sou..."

"From the first few seconds, the jazz influence can be heard through the melody of "Strange Feelin'" which is lifted from Miles Davis' "All Blues". The jazz tendencies continue throughout the album and make for a great departure from his previously folk-inflected albums. Not only does the musical ..." [+] Reply

"The pastoral Van's album. Irish like the Guinness, country, rain...... and "The Quiet Man". Great vocals, great songs. Lyrics are full of images, impressions and strongs shots. An underrated and extraordinary record." Reply

"This album came at a point where I was completely exhaused with Wu-Tang. I really felt like their quality had dipped quite a bit (and for the most part it HAD -- there was a lot of cash grabbing at this time) so it was hard for me to give SC a fair shake. Now that time has passed, it's clear that..." [+] Reply
