"I'll admit, I never really had an interest in listening to Amy Winehouse for some reason, and then she died, and I wanted to know what she sounded like. So I listened to a song from this album...and then the entire album. What a great, soulful work this is, with powerful vocals and melodies and l..."  [+]  Reply

"24 August 2013 - This is just about as perfect as it gets. This album just feels good, natural, real and off the cuff. At the same time it is perhaps the most beautifully varied set of songs Dylan ever put out. The break up songs, the social songs, the love songs, the talking blues songs, the blu..."  [+]  Reply

"This album just doesn't do it for me. Most of it comes across as just weak disco (Lose Yourself To Dance) overblown and trying too hard (Touch) or just outright dull (Within, The Game Of Love) Get Lucky is an exception, pulling off retro disco to great effect and making one of the best pop single..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a band that is completely relaxed, completely focused on the music as they had noting to prove anymore. One of the best Blues albums I know. The only band besides the Beatles (Abbey Road) that succeeded to top their best work with their last recorded album, as many groups run out of energ..."  [+]  Reply

"I’m not going to fight it. I’m addicted to the sparkling, candy colored songs of Beach House. Beach House go full-on arena-sized for this album. Launching the grandeur of the Cocteau Twins straight to the upper rafters. I completely give in to its waves of Cure and Loveless-era MBV guitars washin..."  [+]  Reply

"Patti Smith has never been given her due recognition for being the first female rock and roller to lead a band and have complete creative control over her music. Before Patti, a rock band would have a "chick" singer but the boyz in the band were the primary players of the music. Smith became an i..."  [+]  Reply

Lana was already an artist who I think a lot of people anticipated had a ceiling . She definitely breaks through the ceiling - but best of the decade?? Maybe ..."  [+]  Reply

"My favourite ever album. Complex, and simple, assured but experimental. Done in one session! with the best jazz musicians assembled, they were all on form. You cannot "get" this music, it seems to change and surprise and delight at every playing. Mature, confident, engaging and rewarding. The mor..."  [+]  Reply
