"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

"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

"Just in time before the end of the decade, Michael Kiwanuka provides us with one of the most culturally aware records that we've been gifted. No doubt the message may take a few listens to permeate but when it does you really begin to understand just how important this album will be for years to ..."  [+]  Reply

"I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think this is The Who's best album next to Quadrophenia. Highly underrated. Other commenters are correct - it does feel like a Townshend solo album, but Roger's vocals make it much more than just that."  Reply

"Their most commercial album but none the worse for it. Every track is spot on. It starts with For Even Less - a brilliant, haunting tale of lost youth and friendship. Piano Lessons follows - for anyone who has ever taken any, it aches with memories. Slave Called Shiver and This Is No Rehearsal al..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a non-stop, if I listen to a track of it I listen them all. Each one is so well crafted, the productions are flawless, her vocals are beautiful, the dance euphoria of the first 3 are insane and Music has my favourites Madonna's compositions. I love how she moves throught such diferent sty..."  [+]  Reply

"If "blacklisted" tried to seduce you, then neko's "fox confessor brings the flood" tries to speak to your mind. Of course, it's that sultry voice that i keep coming back for and by the time "hold on, hold on" kicks in, my mind's mush. It's the devil she loves, singing "I leave the party at three ..."  [+]  Reply
