"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..."

"Masterfully written and engaging. I'm not even a huge fan of things on the fringe of folk/country, but I love almost every song on this album. This is probably my favorite release from Waxahatchee, and Fire might be my song of the year so far. Favorite tracks: Fire, Ruby Falls, Arkadelphia, St. C..." [+] Reply

"I like Phil Collins but like many in the 80's got sick of seeing him as he inundated the album charts with solo albums, Genesis work, on other artists records, movies (Buster), Live Aid (both UK and US), etc. you get the drift. I haven't recovered from this saturation decades later. I only own th..." [+] Reply

"Rundgren's master stroke. It should be called Something/Everything since he pretty much does it all on this inspired smorgasbord of styles, ranging from hard rock and ballads to blue-eyed soul and grunge. And, of course, that tape hiss. Hugely influential, it is a miniature pop world unto itself." Reply

"I don't quite understand why this album is so highly rated. I think it's a dreary album full of tired old twelve bars and derivative re-writes of old pop and folk tunes. Too many Dylan albums are like this these days. I must admit though I think working man blues is brilliant and thunder on the m..." [+] Reply

"I've heard in several places the Crooked Rain, Crooked rain is the most accessible Pavement album. However, after 3 listens, to my ears this seems to be the easiest to grasp. Really enjoying it so far, seems to be their most focused album. I'm falling in love with this band...too bad it's 2012" Reply

"I never thought this album could be so good ! It’s almost as good as BIA for me. The tracklist is nice: starting with a classic happy hit of Supertramp, then great varied songs from both singers, and the incredible Fool’s Overture, one of their most accomplished song IMO. Standouts: Give a Little..." [+] Reply

"Sandy Denny is, in my opinion, the greatest female singer / songwriter Britain has ever produced, though, if you think about it, the competition list is quite short. 'Who Knows Where the time Goes' is on this, so that would be reason enough by itself to include this album, but it also includes tw..." [+] Reply

"Frankie's most introspective mood with Ava in the heart and soul. Painful, autumnal, sad, nocturnal, is the photography of a man alone. Nobody sing these feeling with more knowledge, dignity, self-respect. And at last..... one for my baby and one more for the road (Bill Millar's piano is a miracle)." Reply

"Feels like a classic of whatever genre it is, after one listen. Billed as being house and I think if you are coming to this expecting just house music, you'd be wrong. I honestly don't listen to much house music but here that genre feels like its the frame to which he's painted a collage of all s..." [+] Reply
