"Talk Talk was once a tinny synth-pop band. The Beatles started out their recording career with the thin "Love Me Do". Radiohead began as a fairly run-of-the-mill alt-rock band. Then we got works like "Laughing Stock", "Revolver", and "OK Computer". Ween began their recording career with odd mixes..."  [+]  Reply

"It might not be as epic as her debut but it's really close, especially after multiple listens. Love how NDA goes right into Therefore I Am. Was worried at first how much I'd like this since her debut was my favorite album of 2019 and the singles on that first one just slapped harder but dang some..."  [+]  Reply

"Thanks, Melon! Seriously, as much as we've been discussing on this site whether Fantano is too influential on people's taste, I probably wouldn't have discovered this album without him! It's a beautiful piece of work, evoking artists such as Kate Bush, Joanna Newsom and Stevie Wonder, while at th..."  [+]  Reply

"Have you ever heard an album that is nearly a "Greatest Hits" in its own? Well, THIS is one of those very few albums that have to be honoured that way. In fact this album has an impressive record: 6 singles made the top 15 in the US, a record only equalled with Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. How c..."  [+]  Reply

"This album. Wow. It's hard for me to accurately articulate the experience that I had with this album. This album took me through a range of emotions, it showed me the entire life experience of a human being. People talk about albums being life-affirming, this is it. Susanne Sundfør just kills it...."  [+]  Reply

"A true beauty of a psychedelic album, showcasing plenty of sitar and even classical elements like on 'Legend of a Girl Called Linda'. 'Season of the Witch' is a true psychedelic classic, often referred to as one of one of the most highly regarded psychedelic classics of the sixties. I particularl..."  [+]  Reply
