"This is such an amazing record. Basically the definitive example of an excellent artist coming along, dropping a unique and timeless masterpiece then disappearing. He just never got the credit he deserved in his career or in his day which is sad. This album is a stunner. Outside of maybe Pink Moo..." [+] Reply

"Pretty simple album as a whole, but they have catchy, hooky, pop punk down to a science. This factor works to the album's favor and there is a lot to love here. To some it may not deserve a high rating, but I have so much fun listening that I can't help but rate it as much as I enjoy it. Best Tra..." [+] Reply

"I totally agree with you,Bork. It's not bad. It's all listeanable, but you're right. There are no interesting songs here. Really,there's nothing essential of theirs after Pinkerton. Rivers Cuomo decided medocre was the artistic height he was willing to reach for from here on." Reply

"I am an honest man when I‘m not lying… Nothing plays better than the doomed but repentant sinner man feverishly begging to have his sins absolved. The sinner who firmly believes in hell but is dammed there anyways by his hunger & compulsions to fill that emptiness inside him with cards, whores, a..." [+] Reply

"The best album that George made throughout his entire discography. An album that shows a pop star from the 80's show a sense of maturity and having honesty through a hardship that never went away until his unfortunate death. This album has aged pretty well with the production having a twilight an..." [+] Reply

"You know, I've probably heard Stayin Alive a thousand times in my life but the funny thing about that song is that it actually rocks. Jive Talkin, You Should Be Dancing, Night Fever... there was a reason this was so huge: because it really was quite good." Reply

"They never did anything like this before, nor after. Many say, and I agree to a certain extent, that this was an attempt to match 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles. There may have been some self-inflicted peer pressure to do something psychedelic but I don't see 'Sgt Pepper' as..." [+] Reply

"So much of this years music has been a struggle to listen to, not this one, difficult second album it is not, spilling confidently from one track to another. Sounding distinctly more Alternative than last years Dogrel, a more morose tone is struck. Grian’s vocals are once more an oasis of origina..." [+] Reply

"Father John Misty is the moniker for former Fleet Foxes drummer Joshua Tillman. Knowing this helps you to understand the sound of this album better as it sounds a fair bit like a Fleet Foxes album. This album, however, does not sound like an exact copy of a Fleet Foxes album, but you can hear the..." [+] Reply
