"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

"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

"First the album grabs you, with 'Ride My See-Saw', then it intrigues you with 'House of Four Doors' and 'Legend of a Mind', then it blows your mind with 'Best Way to Travel' and 'Visions of Paradise'. Finally, it brings it all together with 'The Word' and 'Om'. The 1967-1972 Moody Blues (as oppos..." [+] 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. Regardless of if that’s true, this does feel like a mixtape, especially given ..." [+] 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

"Small change is without doubt the best Tom Waits album of the seventies. Here, he is fully formed, the sozzled barroom troubadour reaches it's peak. Waits is at the top of his game. While, closing time, was uncertain, the heart of Saturday night, slightly immature, and, nighthawks at the diner, a..." [+] Reply
