"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

"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

"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

"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 ..."  [+]  Reply

"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
