"If only every song here were as good as Birthday. Bjork doesn't even sound human on this album. She is ethereal and beyond the limits of human capability with that voice. I can't help but think The Sugarcubes were really into Siouxsie and the Banshees. There are lot of similarities here." 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

"The best darn Krautrock I ever heard. I imagine this album is the musical equivalent of what it would feel like to be in the Pagemaster movie scene where all the paint falls from the roof and makes everything cartoon. Yeaaaahhhh." Reply

"The first country album I ever listened to. I love the sound and the passion in it. Sturgill Simpson writes a beautiful letter to his newborn son. It is a brilliant welcome to the world with messages to people of all ages about the world we live in and the best ways to fully experience life. I lo..." [+] Reply
