"I'm upset they removed "slowtown" from "regional at best" in remaking it to become "vessel" but the album is still high quality. good work from an upcoming band" Reply

"This is my favorite album by Low. Kicks off with the wonderful Sunflower before plodding along nicely. Then just when you feel the album needs a bit of an injection you get it with July which starts a run of incredible songs all the way to the end. great stuff" Reply

"Mingus's own personal favourite of all of his albums and not hard to see why. Constructing "buildings of jazz" it seems in deferrence to the primitism of much of the jazz fusion wave that was around at the time. The architects have hit the spot and the view from the top floor is impressive. Shame..." [+] Reply

"The songs, such as they are, are long and have little structure, the production is murky and raw and harrowing, the tempo is unchanging to the point of testing endurance. There is no joy or even solace to be found in this record, only unforgiving turmoil. It is a traumatic realisation of the hope..." [+] Reply

"A more accessible Patti Smith album. Easter, is a good record with some fine songs, most notably the Bruce Springsteen collaboration, because the night. Good, but not great." Reply

"The Dandy Warhols' run through a gamut of influences on "Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia". "Godless" opens this album with an acoustic guitar reminiscent of George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' and takes turn into a Burt Bacharach vibe... A spacey psychedelic "Mohammed" has a chilled Beatleish ton..." [+] Reply

"Much, much, much better than Bleed American. More ambitious, diverse, melodic, angsty, better sung, and in general considerably less constrained with superficial stuff like "trying to make an album that will sell". On Clarity there's the confrontational blissful opener "Table for Glasses", the ca..." [+] Reply

"*Sigh*. This album is complete trash. I like all of the songs from 'Electric Blue' to 'We Don't Deserve Love' (the latter being a song that I love, which may be surprising given the rating that I gave the album), but the rest of the album completely fails. 'Chemistry' gets a bad rap, it's bad, bu..." [+] Reply
