"The tone of this album is a melancholic and meditational mixture of Western and Eastern existentialism allied with a sense of Christian piety and exotic detachment. Gabriel's masterpiece is first and foremost an ethereal and evocative study in 'sound' which acts as a kind of catalyst for the semi..." [+] Reply

"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

"In my opinion, Wilco lost its experimenting creative edge and slid a bit towards adult contemporary fare on albums "sky blue sky" and "wilco (the album)". There were a couple songs like "bull black nova" and "impossible germany" that stretched the new, adult wilco sound, but for the most part, th..." [+] Reply

The opening tracks feel both synthetic and warm. cut copy has a pet shop boys quality to them of putting out these processed dance pop tunes with so..." [+] 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

"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

"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
