"(Well, it’s another excellent Lana Del Rey album. Lyrically excellent and balanced. Musically lush yet stripped down with just the right amount of subtle spice and variety added in to keep it low key riveting. If you like her standout 2019 album, you’ll like this. Probably my fave Lana album yet...." [+] Reply

This album provided the soundtrack to our young lives , we smoked weed , lost our virginity and drove around the coast all with this album blowing our minds . Onl..." [+] Reply

"Released at the height of their popularity, one of these nights, is a good Eagles album. Featuring classic tunes in, lyin' eyes, take to the limit, and the title track, it also includes the oddball instrumental, journey of the sorcerer, which would eventually be the theme tune to the classic Brit..."

"The first two tracks, "irresponsible hate anthem" and "beautiful people", along with the title track, NAIL his sound -- sin, god & rock'n'roll. He does what alice cooper did before him but perverts the idea a little more. All tracks feel grimy and filthy, a sound made possible by the grinding gui..." [+] Reply

"To me, this is so clearly Slowdive's masterpiece. It's potent, and has a timelessness to it. If I had heard this, and someone had told me it came out today, I could totally believe that. There are albums from ten years ago that don't hold up as well as this breezy, haunting collection of songs." Reply

"Having heard "The Power of Love" and relistening to "Two Tribes" I stopped hating FGTH on principle. I finally bought the single and played it non-stop for several days. Despite having over-played it, the album remains, to my ears, a great work. It fares better, when you are no longer hounded by ..." [+] Reply

"Cave begins the album by transforming Cohen’s lyrics into a unique sonic representation that does indeed sound like a big black mass of snow hurtling toward the listener. While certainly not a bad song, Avalanche sounds less ‘inspired’ than the rest of the album; perhaps he opened with a cover du..." [+] Reply
