"The first album Elvis Presley recorded after leaving the army. It's arguably his best, most consistent, and most enjoyable album. Great songs here; dirty, dirty feeling, the lovely, girl of my best friend, and the blues, reconsider baby, Elvis wouldn't record anything like that for a while after ..." [+] Reply

"A pseudo-concept album from the perspective of an ex-partier, wavering between nostalgia at the good moments of being part of the drug-fueled rock and roll scene of Minneapolis past, and acknowledgement that that time of life incubated and exacerbated the tragedies of adulthood for many of those ..."

"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

"Despite Cave and company's thoughts that this album's sound was too tampered with post-recording, I find it to be one of his most fun, rocking albums. "Straight to You" is arguably his best song ever. Favorite tracks: "Straight to You", "Jack the Ripper", "Papa Won't Leave You, Henry"" Reply

"The Pet Shop Boys greatest lp, introducing their minimalist techno-pop to the world. Featuring the classic singles West End Girls and Opportunities, it's precision pop is both lovelorn and despairing." Reply

"Didn't pay that much attention to the lyrics (the first time I listened to it), but the production is great... I much prefer this kind of hip hop (indie, as Hayden calls it; Madvillain also fall into this category) than the pop rap of Drake, Kanye, Jay-Z, ..." Reply

"i love paul's storytelling ability. A lot of the tales he sings going back to his time in simon & garfunkel sound like they're happening down the block or on his way cross-town to the park. i guess this is his break-up album, but it doesn't sound like it. His higher-pitched vocals carry a breezy ..." [+] Reply

"Too much water. Never enough. Except on the tracks that don't quite have as much water, but Ichiko probably has the best vocal chops for 2020 singer/songwriters, by an ocean-wide margin." Reply
