"After having listened to this 6+ times over the past couple of days I can firmly say that this is one of the best records The National has ever produced. I loved every second of this from the very beginning, and every time I've listened to it my love has only grown. Although it isn't necessary, o..."  [+]  Reply

"For my money, this is QOTSA's best album. They went on to make more diverse albums, but they never made anything as slick as this awesome debut. As cool as the otherside of the pillow..."  Reply

"Jeff Lynne was a popmeister. Confusion and Don't Bring Me Down were brilliant in that right but tracks like Midnight Blue cemented this as another solid outing by a band that was unabashedly Beatles-esque... yet not."  Reply

"This is where metal was born. You have to thank these guys for Led Zep, Black Sabbath, AC/DC. Listen to Clapton's version of SPOONFUL. They broke away from the standard that was introduced by the Beatles, and emulated by so many in the British Invasion of the 60's"  Reply

"Rattle and hum, is U2 taking us on a journey of the history of rock. There's covers of The Beatles and Dylan, Hendrix appears on the record, and the band record a handful of songs at sun studios where Elvis recorded his earliest songs. Elsewhere, there's songs about Billie Holiday, references to ..."  [+]  Reply

"The Smile return with a second offering that's even more interesting than "A Light for Attracting Attention". I was a very big fan of their debut. After all, Radiohead is my favorite band, so I was naturally drawn to this side project. Many people have argued that The Smile sounds exactly like Ra..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is immense. An absolute powerhouse. Yes, it does meander in places, but for me it's perhaps the perfect headphones album. Despite not being particularly blessed technically, both rappers hold it down supremely with some fantastic imagery and strange non-sequiturs. And production-wise, ..."  [+]  Reply

"“Wetleg” tries a bit too hard to be clever. Songs attempt to have this wry sense of humor about them, but it rarely hits the mark. This produces groaner lyrics such as “To tell me if I'm thin or fat, to tell me should I shave my rat”. The focus on wordplay also comes at the cost of thematic meani..."  [+]  Reply
