"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

"*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

"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

"A Salty Dog was the last Procol Harum album to feature the original 5-piece line-up. Compared to the previous two, which were very much dominated by Gary Booker's songs and vocals ( not a negative thing at all ), more space is given to guitarist Robin Trower and organist Matthew Fisher. Robin Tro..."  [+]  Reply

"This is one of Paul McCartney's most interesting albums. Chaos and creation, is predominantly acoustic in sound, and is much more challenging in structure than most McCartney records, maybe only his self titled albums from 1970 and 1980 compare. Having said that, the songs here are much more thou..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic album, criminally underrated - how this isn't even in the top 1000 confounds me. This album perhaps sees the Lips at their most versatile, the album with the most dynamic range - rocking hard on one song to creating astounding beautiful music on the next and not a weak track here (well,..."  [+]  Reply

"Mesmerizing but the counterpoint stuff gets a bit overwhelming after a while... I feel it needs a bit of dynamic added to it by having some ambient tracks or something. Facades was kind of that, but a little late in the album. It's a very similar feel throughout the album. Rubric was impressive b..."  [+]  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
