"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

"I have very mixed feelings on this album. On one hand, the reissue is great. More and better tracks from what the original offered, to say the least. The problem with this album stems from the night itself. Not the recording or producing or tracklisting, but the show itself. The fact of the matte..." [+] 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

"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". 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

"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

"This is probably the most maligned, bashed and dismissed album in Progressive Rock. All the well-known prog haters (Rolling Stone, Robert Christgau, etc) had a field day with this album, but if you really LISTEN to all the 4 pieces is such astounding musical experience. My favourites are 'Ritual'..." [+] Reply

"Working my way backwards through the manic catalog, i'm surprised to find a manic album with the soundtrack provided by a mid-80s hair metal band. The vocals are the only thing keeping me from thinking this is a motley crue cover band. Very odd. And as other reviews state, they attempt to make a ..." [+] Reply

"Post Punk and Art Punk. Oh and REALLY GREAT Post Punk and Art Punk. Oh and this band and album is fucing awesome. And the lead speaker is already a first ballot hall of fame vocalist. Florence "Flo" Shaw, remember that name.) You ever hear one of those albums that, for some reason, makes you smil..." [+] Reply
