"It sounds like they've actually thought about every single element of their music and presentation. Pulling elements from every decade and as many different genres as they can. It's probably the best thing I've heard from a new band/artist since Arlo Parks debut and the best record of 2024...so far." [+] Reply

"Recorded with the band circled around a single microphone in Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity, this album's intimacy and immediacy reflects the surroundings in which it was made. The result is a a languid, dreamy, haunting listening experience. The band's sound centers on the custard-smooth v..." [+] Reply

"Definitely disappointed. Although this is pretty good pop rap, this isn't exactly where I wanted Chance's music to go. Singles like 'Angels' got me hoping for a mixtape with that tropical type sound and some gospel 'Ultralight Beam' stuff mixed in. Chance went for a very mainstream pop-rap sound ..." [+] Reply

"My favorite Santana album, which is not always easy to explain to people; but looking at the comments here and reflecting on the number of randomly met people who have joined in the opinion, perhaps I shouldn't bother?" Reply

"Destroying my soul and ego slowly but completely, tears coming out from my half-closed eyes, the whole world fading out from my view, fireworks burning inside of my brain, the future arriving in some obscure places... It's a beautiful tragedy" Reply

"I really don't know what I'm rating here. I bought the double disc 2005 reissue. The album itself is nice, nothing as special as "Souvlaki", but really hypnotic stuff anyhow. But the real standout here is disc 2 which brings together Slowdive's first 3 amazing EPs. I actually prefer it to the alb..." [+] Reply

"Why is this ranked so low? Jim Croce was one of the best songwriters of all time, not to mention a fantastic guitarist, singer and storyteller. He was in the same social circle as Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett, and I think he was simply the most talented of the four." Reply

"Fantastic album by the Keys, easily one of their best. Some of their best songs are on here, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch. By this point they had developed into one of the best rock bands in the business." Reply

"I am a hard Morricone fan, but somehow this music when listening to LP, it just does not work as a movie watching. Perhaps the film's tone seems worn out playing. I think L'Estasi Dell'Oro (The Ecstasy of Gold) is the disc's most fascinating piece. Look at the earth Morricone Arena concert in Ver..." [+] Reply

"This was supposed to be a B-Sides or EP. The album didn't even want to release it. It is subdued, varied, and less accessible than Odelay. It is a preview of the melancholy of Sea Change, and the funk of Midnight Vultures. An underrated album in a brilliant catelogue." Reply
