"Now this one is also really good. The opening song is a real burst of energy that fits the subject-matter really well. You really feel like you can get up and do whatever the fuck you want, right now. The ending of the song is such a heavy groove, just lovely. Through the album, the bass-playing ..." [+] Reply

"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

"It's alright. Happy hour, is fantastic, easily the Housemartin's best song, but the rest is a bit dull and ordinary. They just don't have that raw edge that contemporaries like The Smiths and The Cure had. Still, it's not bad." Reply

"Soda Stereo is one of the few non-anglophone bands whose discography can give artists like The Beatles and Radiohead a run for their money, pioneering all the way through to their final album. Although Canción Animal is normally regarded as their greatest work, its follow-up, Dynamo, is much more..." [+] Reply

"Sorry, but this is a fantastic album, so melancholistic and deep at some points. Photographs is one of the best songs of the year. Then you have upbeats like Mr Tembo, which is a perfected crafted song. Best album of 2014 so far." Reply

"Top to bottom this is just one of most beautifully produced rap albums ever I've heard. And the raps are so damn sexy too. Man, I just think this is basically a perfect, filler-free, all banger filled masterpiece. There's absolutely no fat here. No bs skits, nothing but absolutely astounding beat..." [+] Reply

"This is dance pop at its finest. Top tracks are opener "feel the love", "out there on the ice", "lights and music", "hearts on fire" and "far away".
