"This eerie, dark and macabre sound experiment is gargantuan in scope. This is a form of avantgarde music that has no precedent. Part symphonic primitivism and part cacophonous world-music, the sound of 'Not Available' is a strangely disconcerting and disorientating hybrid of postmodern film noir,..."  [+]  Reply

"A great blend of fun, playful tunes along with much more sobering, mature work. Ben Folds is much more cohesive here than on his other albums, bringing pop and much more rock to the album overall. Start with this album if you're getting into him. The Luckiest is a freakin legendary song. Best Tra..."  [+]  Reply

"This is an odd album in the stones cannon. After the excellent aftermath this record comes as bit of a disappointment. The weird thing is that there's nothing bad on here, it's just good all the way through. That's it's problem. It's so consistently good that nothing really stands out. Yesterday'..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is part of my top 100 you can check out with additional omments. Neil Young had always been one of my favorite artists, both because of his side as his more electric burst especially with Crazy Horse. "Weld" is the perfect example af the second especially because it's a live rendition ..."  [+]  Reply

"The prolific Shabaka Hutchings (Melt Yourself Down, The Shabaka And The Ancestors, The Comet Is Coming...) returns in 2018 with one of his many projects, Sons Of Kemet. "Your queen is a reptile" is a concept album denouncing the imperialism and injustice of the British monarchy. They celebrate he..."  [+]  Reply

"As much as I love Q-Tip and company, the crew at Tribe might be pansies compared to Pharcyde. Sometimes the lyrics here go a bit too far, but production-wise, I can't think of a better non-Kanye rap album. It's as jazzy as jazz-rap could be."  Reply

"Fantastic album, criminally underrated - how this isn't even in the top 1000 confounds me. This album perhaps sees the Lips at their most versatile, the album with the most dynamic range - rocking hard on one song to creating astounding beautiful music on the next and not a weak track here (well,..."  [+]  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

"Perhaps one of the greatest things about music is its ability to showcase the intimate portions of the human experience without sounding invasive. People have an obsession with watching other people, an obsession with voyeurism (to a point), seeing what other people do in what are typically priva..."  [+]  Reply
