"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

"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.. I still don't think it's anywhere near their debut. The sound is there though, and I do think there are tracks here, which..." [+] Reply

"A record that is a tale of two sides with one being extremely mellow and delicate and the other being aggressive and loud. This contrast works brilliantly in my opinion and it makes both sides stand out more effectively. It benefits the second half a lot more with songs like Hero sounding far mor..." [+] 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

"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

"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

"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 ..."
