"It is album that takes five to six listening before it start to grow on you. Possible not my favourite type of music, but still some lovely tunes on it. I intended to buy Robert Plant album but heard positive reviews about the album,and i bought it. No regrets overall, beautiful harmony and singi..."  [+]  Reply

"“Wetleg” tries a bit too hard to be clever. Songs attempt to have this wry sense of humor about them, but it rarely hits the mark. This produces groaner lyrics such as “To tell me if I'm thin or fat, to tell me should I shave my rat”. The focus on wordplay also comes at the cost of thematic meani..."  [+]  Reply

"New Wave was never the most coherent of genres and this release only marginally fits into that categorisation. The loose guitars, not-so-subtle synths and pounding drums, alongside Matt Johnson’s soulful vocals, make for a wonderful listen, however. Worth your time. Rating: Very Good Best track: ..."  [+]  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

"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

"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

"Billie Balearic Beat Yeah 've had varying responses to the Billie phenomenon, her first album was one of the first times listening to it I just felt old- what seemed to be heralded as this brilliant bit of noir pop I just saw a lot of teenage I-cracked-the-code posturing and the fact that the sou..."  [+]  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 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
