"Super-incredible instrumental virtuosity everywhere! More challenging than Yes' most classic albums, but no less musical. I find it awesome that for this album, they dispensed with any attempt whatsoever to make something with broad listening appeal and go for the absolute pinnacle of blow-your-m..." [+] Reply

"I have listened to bits and pieces. I'll listen to this when I get the copy for my cd player, seems like something I would have to pay a lot of attention to. Are those 'Free Form Freak Outs' part of the album? They sound like a novel idea." Reply

"Radiohead makes a very original album just to experiment with new sounds and people say it's groundbreaking, but when M.I.A. does it, she's trying too hard and it's originality for the sake of originality. Well, I liked Arular. It displayed a completely fresh sound, and I congratulate M.I.A. for ..." [+] Reply

"The Mantle is a companion to cold, desolate walks through a north american forest during the harsh but quiet winter. It's no surprise the album takes inspiration from cynical european black metal, desolate dark ambient, and chilling neofolk. The Mantle molds all of this into a masterful one-piece..." [+] Reply

"I don't think there is a single weak track on this album, although there are certainly plenty of stand-out tracks. Giving Bad People Good Ideas rivals Get Got and Beware for the title of "best opener to a Death Grips album". The well-sung female vocals counter Ride's outbursts and the extremely a..." [+] Reply

"Like most of the albums of Genesis' pop phase, this one is quite inconsistent. The good songs can stand up to the band's prog staples, but the bad songs are lightyears behind even the worst songs on Nursery Crime through A Trick of the Tail. "Mama" is one of Genesis' best tracks. It's eerie, ener..." [+] Reply

"S.V.E's 'Remind Me Tomorrow' is a brave move for an artist that is cut from the folk guitar cloth , but satisfyingly it works The electronic sound is jarring to the S.V.E fan upon first listen but ultimately rewards with patience and repeated listening's . The album really kicks into gear with th..." [+] Reply
