"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..

"The soundtrack to a jungle trek. It starts off with Circle (which is the best on the album by far) in which you are enter the jungle, basking in the sun, and then BAM!, a stampede comes straight away, and you're running away panicking. After the first 20 minutes of your journey you start to settl..." [+] 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

"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

"Rock fans were eager for a decent Rock band in the early 2000's. At this point all there was on offer was screamy punk rock like My Chemical Romance or no fat fast rock like The Strokes. So people jumped on Kings of Leon. Their first two albums aren't that good and overrated. They are weirdly del..." [+] Reply

"a good friend of mine once walked into the room while i was listening to this album, and after a while he said that the music was like the sonic equivalent of an old roll of movie film that is faded, rough, and darkened around the edges and is always just on the verge of breaking. i thought that ..."

"Honestly, I wasn't all that excited to listen to this. As a Radiohead-head, I often found Thom's solo work (Atoms For Peace included) to be not much more than self-administered homework between Radiohead sessions. ANIMA changes this.
