"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

""Love at First Feel," "Problem Child," "Squealer," "Big Balls," the title track...this album is filled with fun, rocking AC/DC gems. You know their formula...and this album doesn't stray from it. I see that as a positive thing. Coca-Cola tried changing it's recipe and it ended in disaster. Not al..." [+] 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

"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,..."

"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

"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

"Warren Ellis is a subtle genius. Cave is an intimidating genius. Together they make swirling mixtures of contrasting hues of musical mischief to lose your mind within." Reply

"Brilliant album still holding up after 40 years. I refuse to call The Three Fates a Keith Emerson composition though, it is clearly ripped right off of Gershwin. Imagine what they had sounded like if Hendrix hadn't died and indeed had joined the band instead." 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
