"The arrangements are well thought out, particularly the duel guitars, and the production is a great example of analogue done right, warm while still retaining clarity and separation. Death Cab are a much better band than people give them credit for and this is their most consistent and varied album." Reply

"I'm no expert on soul music but my initial impression after listening to this a couple of times is that this is possibly the most powerful soul singing I've ever heard. It brings that gospel fervour to secular music and is so full of unbridled emotion it's incredible. I love the fact you can hear..." [+] Reply

"It’s a good album and for the most part, it’s a solid project. Is it the best J. Cole project? I think Friday Night Lights is better but this one is up there. He was smart to make project without any feats. I personally don’t like feats, when I hear a hip hop album, I’m there to hear it all from ..." [+] Reply

"Immediately launching into attack, the guitars of Rick Froberg and John Reiss converge relentlessly, building a case for one of the all time great math rock/punk records. It's technical without being showy. Songs suffocate when they need to, and also breathe when necessary." Reply

"This album present to us something we would never think about. the good side of the sad breakup of Oasis. On his gigs, Noel always starts with "(It's Good) To Be Free" and this contrasts with the freedom of his talent with the end of Oasis. The best songs of Noel Gallagher since the end of the 90..."

"I feel like this album could have been (and still could be) better received if it had better packaging and marketing, and a better title, which sounds weird maybe, but people weren't prepared for what a change of direction it is. If you tell me something is cosmic blues, I'm expecting loosey-goos..." [+] Reply

"This is just Tom Waits doing what Tom Waits does best. Making incredible music. He’s never been one to soar across the radio and be incredibly well known, but those who do know him can really appreciate his genius. He’s got a voice that one may call an acquired taste, but if you can look past tha..." [+] Reply
