"In Ten, Vs, and Vitalogy PJ rushed with anguish through social and personal conflicts. This is an album based on sound exploration and a more metaphysical pondering. You've seen them experience life and now is time to consider their approach to it. I love this album." Reply

"This is definitely the start of the end for Oasis. They seem to have lost their spark and their edge on the songs and there is such a large amount of filler and weak tracks on here. It is such a bloated release as well with it coming in at around an hour and 11 minutes with some songs being stret..." [+] Reply

"If ever an album was made for listening to in the dark with a decent pair of headphones, this is it. Substances may also help. It's like having your brain kissed through your ears. Bliss." Reply

"These songs stay with you. Later in his career Waits would tell stories about dashed dreamers, but here you feel that he's really one of them. A very moving experience." Reply

"(Cool alt/indie rock album. Ellie on the vocals is the star, but the band is solid throughout.) I say this a lot but it’s particularly true here: I don’t have much to say about this. It’s a very solid and at times gorgeous indie rock album. It bounces so often from one sound to another, I can’t p..." [+] Reply

"I almost don’t want to give it a high rating, because it might change the 69/100 rating. This is the type of pop album that makes rock purists say “I want to hate this, but it is just so good”. If you can do that, you’ve made a fucking stellar album." Reply

"Liked this more on another (third) listen. Didn't find it quite as bland as before. Though it might just be a consequence of listening to "Kill for Love" beforehand. Anyway.. I still don't think it's anywhere near their debut. The sound is there though, and I do think there are tracks here, which..." [+] Reply

"After 6 rather disappointing studio albums in the 80's he left Geffen records and returned to Reprise and a great return to form with this album. Great album there are elements of rock, folk, country everything Neil Young is good at." Reply
