"I deeply regret my first impressions and listens of Consolers of the Lonely, I wasn't ready (not old enough), not yet learned in the great history that is rock'n'roll. The soul and passion of these guys is hard to understand, a brick wall of unpenatrable energy surrounds them here. Behind the bri..."  [+]  Reply

"If no their best, certainly Slayer's most representative work. War Ensemble is as furious as anything on Reign in Blood, while Dead Skin Mask and Expendable Youth showcase more of the toned down style featured on south of Heaven. A must have for serious metal fans."  Reply

"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. Instead of coming off sounding like a bored music student arbit..."  [+]  Reply

"Revisited Broken Bells recently, when I was going through a whole Danger Mouse walkthrough thing. I think it's actually aging pretty well. My initial opinion a couple of years ago was that despite my wanting to be attached to it, it really has a case of the wallpaper and the samey wameys and I ev..."  [+]  Reply

"The Chemical Brothers doing what The Chemical Brothers do best – melodic, collaboration-heavy, big beat anthems. Dance music for the living room as well as the discotheque. Rating: Brilliant Best track: Hey Boy Hey Girl"  Reply

"“I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me. I work with very few elements - with one voice, two voices. I build with primitive materials - with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three..."  [+]  Reply

"It's not as big of a change as a lot of people think it is from the usual Sigur Ros, but you can easily point it out from the other album's sounds. My only problem is that a lot of the songs are shorter, and don't build up as much as other Sigur Ros songs; they are pretty immediate. But really mo..."  [+]  Reply
