"I think the first record by Buffalo Springfield is their finest. It's a fiery, collaborative effort by a true supergroup. As a Neil Young fan, I'm pleased with his originals here. They are bittersweet, catchy and cryptic. Stills' songs are complimentary. They are sweet, straightforward and fun. I..." [+] Reply

"Sampha is great. Done with hiding behind other commercial acts (Kanye, Solange, Frank Ocean) ghost writing and producing, he's now in the open on his own. It's pretty clear to me now he was the genius behind Solange's hit (and one of the best songs from last year) "Don't Touch My Hair" This thing..." [+] Reply

"She Don't Use Jelly is a great track. But there's so much more to this album. Great throughout. Jelly is probably in the lower half of songs on this album. Be My Head is a personal favourite. Why isn't this in the top 1000?" Reply

"Ah, feist of the apple commercial. With "the reminder", she brings "mushaboom" quality to most of the album. i wish she could bring more of her personality to broken social scene, because the playful warmth on "i feel it all", "my moon my man", "sealion" and the aforementioned "1, 2, 3, 4" are in..."

"I'm a pianist, and this is my favorite piano music of all time. Really tough to play stuff. Holding all of the counterpoint in your head is difficult stuff." Reply

"I love this album, and I can see why people just consider it average junk. It's nothing groundbreaking, and most can get what it gives from so many other records. But I can't, the feeling I get from this album is almost inexplicable. The first few listens were just pleasing, but now I get so much..." [+] Reply

"Elliott Smith's work has always been deeply personal. Even at his most pop influenced, Elliott was never writing for anyone other than himself. In the case of Roman Candle, he never even intended for anyone other than himself to hear his art. This is unexpected the start of Smith's career of mela..." [+] Reply
