"I'm pretty optimistic that one day Charli XCX will surprise us with a very consistent release, quality wise. She's not there quite yet with Pop 2, having still a few throwaway songs amid some outstanding bangers but I can say with this and her Vroom Vroom Ep last year, that she's on the right tra..."  [+]  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

"I believe you miss out on the historical context if you call Ramones a pop band, and even by today's standards the music is too aggressive and the vocals too snotty to be considered pop. That said, this is another solid punk-rocker although not reaching the same heights as the self-titled debut o..."  [+]  Reply

"This was one of my favorite albums when I was in high school. I played violin and loved indie rock and this album convinced me I didn't have to play guitar to be cool (I mean, I was wrong, but at least it got me through high school)."  Reply

"It was difficult for me at first to immerse myself in the album, but after the first 3 songs I felt completely wrapped up by some kind of awesome atmosphere. Incredible album, one of this year bests."  Reply

"Better than Veteran in terms of artistic quality and magnificent production. I've got to sit back and chew on this one for a while though, as it's an intense collage of different sounds constantly thrown at you. There's no way this can be digested in one day, but for now, I'd say this is quite th..."  [+]  Reply

"In this record The Mahavishnu Orchestra flutuates between nice melodic phrases and virtuoso showoff. For a musician, you can spot all of their musical tricks after a few listens and that's a boring cause there's not much more left than that. Unlike Zappa, McLaughlin and Goodman are way to excited..."  [+]  Reply

"The first half sits comfortably next to Nevermind, if somewhat less essential. The second half is weaker than the low points of bleach. Then it finishes with one of their best track."  Reply
