"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

"This would easily be the greatest EP of all time if the last track didn't exist (although, it's a bit long for an EP). Every single song is a 10/10 in my books, which even my most favourite album of all time, Sgt. Pepper's, can't do. This album is so unbelievably amazing besides the risque last s..." [+] 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...."

"Wow it beggars belief that an album as good as this one currently sits at # 972 on the BEA Over Chart as per August 2018 whilst garbage like The Rolling Stones 'Aftermath' sits inside the top 500 Where to begin with this album ? Wire to wire its superb from the unconventional opening salvo of "Th..." [+] Reply

"There's no one song that is on the level of Where It's At on this album, but all the songs are solid. A Beck album can always be hit or miss (even Odelay) but this seems to be his most complete album. The variety is very good, going from rockers like E-Pro to poppy hits like Girl to more soulful ..."

"Really starting to warm up to this record more-so than Bitte Orca. Whilst Longstreth retains his seemingly throat-straining vocals and the background female harmonies remain, Swing Lo Magellan differs much from it's predecessor in the sense that it sounds as though the band aren't focusing too he..."

"It seems every release from Lenker and Meek kind of resets my expectations and introduces something new to consider. This second Big Thief album is, on its face, perhaps a similar experience to Masterpiece. But there is something barely noticeable that kept pulling me back to listen and listen ag..." [+] 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 ..."
