"Just to clarify Will Butler departed AF AFTER this album was completed to actually spend more time with his young family and NOT jumping a sinking ship as some have claimed If indeed this is to be Arcade Fires final album its a fine fine farewell album after 2017’s complete misstep ‘Everything No..."

"Possibly one of the most under-rated LPs of the last 10 years. Just as Broadcast found their sound - halfway between the Young Marble Giants and Nico - poor Trish died of pnemonia... a terrible, terrible loss. Tender Buttons will serve as their epitaph, but what a fitting, beautiful and mesmerisi..." [+] Reply

"The greatest pop album of all time, kicked off with the greatest pop song of all time, the sublime "Being Boring". "The Must be the Place" and "My October Symphony" are the other two all time classics, but every track is a winner on this autumnal masterpiece, except perhaps "How Can You Expect" w..." [+] Reply

"This album is one of the coolest I've ever heard. Queens has always been one of my top go-to bands for feeling badass, and this album doesn't disappoint. The entire thing has an aura of "coolness" about it. I keep going back to it for that reason, and it scratches that rock itch more than a lot o..." [+] Reply

"Circles is everything a posthumous album should be: fulfilling an artist's intended vision and completing the important final touches to a closing chapter when they're spiritually not with us." Reply

"I know a lot of fans were disappointed with this because they wanted more action, but just LISTEN to this! It's absolute bliss to the ears! Every sacred second on this album is a treasure, the songs flow like clear water, the emotion that's packed in here is beautifully immense. Flawless!" Reply

"This really is a lovely album, short and sweet. That certainly is the charm of the album, but it's also frustrating because of it. Opener, meant for you, is beautiful, but it fades out before it even reaches the 40 second mark, it's just a waste of a lovely melody. Other tracks aren't quite so sh..." [+] Reply

"This is a huge improvement over The Blueprint 3 and Magna Carta Holy Grail, but it's still not particularly good. And this is coming from somebody who would probably place Jay-Z in my top ten artists of all-time. His flow is just so fucking clumsy these days. He used to be able to rap very nimbly..." [+] Reply

"What a beautiful time to be 15 and still wonderful to hear this album again. Maybe we all still underrate it. Yes, The Smtihs captured the feelings of more teenagers, but they never reached this beauty, clear like a scottish stream. "We could send letters" may contain the most beautiful words fro..."
