"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

"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

"Because sometimes we do not care anymore about Migos news, we feel like we're talking about K-dot because we have to, and we think that this American hip-hop never seemed also absent, we need a guy like Barrington Hendricks, aka JPEGMAFIA. Peggy's music is first and foremost a very special atmosp..." [+] 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

"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

"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 ..."

"This is the Gorillaz album I’d been waiting fifteen years for. Demon Days felt like the ultimate pleaser and the best, most distilled record Gorillaz could have released. I loved Plastic Beach and has some real moments of genius, but just seems a little high concept and disjointed in places. Huma..." [+] 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

"It's always funny looking back. I was initially disappointed by Yellow House. I loved the hazy, recorded under sea sound of Grizzly Bear's debut Horn of Plenty. Lo-fi being my drug of choice and all. But the splendor of Yellow House quickly won me over and there's no question it may be the epitom..." [+] 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
