"So much of this years music has been a struggle to listen to, not this one, difficult second album it is not, spilling confidently from one track to another. Sounding distinctly more Alternative than last years Dogrel, a more morose tone is struck. Grian’s vocals are once more an oasis of origina..."  [+]  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

"A sleazy electro pop album. The record cover says it all with Marc Almond suspiciously half hiding something obviously very naughty. As for the music, tainted love, is one of the great singles of the eighties, and, bedsitter, a good follow up. The closing track, say hello, wave goodbye, is beauti..."  [+]  Reply

"I have been listening to the track Ruined since it dropped and it hasn't left my head since. Looked forward to the album dropping and it did not disappoint. Song for song, Adrianne Lenker makes it sound so easy and hard at the same time. I love her voice and the words she puts together. Her new v..."  [+]  Reply

"A psychedelic album which is full energy! Superb musicianship from the off, keys and lead guitar continually interchanging. The drums and bass carve out the tight grooves throughout the album. Love the organ lead on the title track and the lead guitar is soooo psychedelic!"  Reply

"I've been listening to Polly's albums for the last couple of weeks. Most of the albums go into similar "ballpark" to me, I like all of them, but apart from certain songs, I'm not exactly head over heels for them. Most of them aren't musically that interesting or diverse. And I feel a lot of what ..."  [+]  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

"A really unique-sounding album, even for Jethro Tull. The traditional English folk approach blends surprisingly effectively with Tull's hard rock ethos. It sounds like the soundtrack to the nerdiest game of Dungeons and Dragons ever conceived. Recommended. Even if you don't love it (and I'm not e..."  [+]  Reply

"Procol Harum's 1967 album is easily among the greatest debut-albums ever released. In fact, it could be the greatest. In a highly original way Procol Harum succeeded in combining raw rhythm'n blues with classical music. With Keith Reid's dark mysterious lyrics and Brooker's soulful voice these 19..."  [+]  Reply
