"It's hard to put a finger on XTC. I understand why some people don't love them. They manage to be disorienting without the traditional means. The guitars frequently enter into repetitive hypnotic states, with a jagged bounce. Drums & Wires may be their finest collection, and a solid entry point f..." [+] Reply

"It is true, I only listened to this because Steven Wilson produced, played the keyboard and co-wrote one track. But this is not a Steven Wilson album. It is clearly Mikael Åkerfeldt driven here. Such beautifully haunting tracks. Favourites are: the first 3 tracks, To Rid The Disease and Weakness." Reply

"At the first listen or two, I was not immediately taken with this album. Certainly good, with some memorable songs, but I didn't think it could hold up next to Here Come the Warm Jets. However, after rather compulsively listening to this album for a number of months, I continue to be taken in by ..." [+] Reply

"I think that the problem with this album is that, if any other band had released it, it would have been considered a good album, because it can from the greatest band of all time, many people consider it a let down. Compared to I, II, III etc. yes, it's not as good but it's not as bad as people m..." [+] Reply

"St. Vincent's "Actor" may be her most ambitious work to date. While "Strange Mercy" and "St. Vincent" developed her pop sense as well as built what has rapidly been recognized as her signature style, "Actor" lacked parameters for its songs and did little more (and perhaps less) than its predecess..."

"Since the 70s there really hasn't been an artist that has put out more than 3 strong albums (usually in a row) and Pearl Jam knocked that usual trend with their 5th strong album straight. They come out pretty straight-forward rockin' on this one for the most part after (and as an extension of) th..." [+] Reply
