"A great album in Streetlight Manifesto's intense style. Contains some creative songwriting with well-thought out musical production. Highlights are "Point Counterpoint" and "A Better Place, A Better Time."" Reply
"To me this is a very meh album, this is my typical response to most of their post Achtung baby output. To me the band has become a caricature of themselves. it always seems like they are trying to be U2 instead of just making music." Reply

"After 6 rather disappointing studio albums in the 80's he left Geffen records and returned to Reprise and a great return to form with this album. Great album there are elements of rock, folk, country everything Neil Young is good at." Reply

"My favorite Broken Social Scene album and the newest found addition to my top 10 albums. The sonic disorder is soothing, the album is the embodiment of the perfectly designed roller coaster with that steep climb to the first highest peak followed by an amazing ride with a couple of twists, turns,..."

"Personally, this sounds fantastic. What else sounds like this? True sonic innovation, just like Pet Sounds before it. So why not as celebrated? Perhaps it's too weird for the masses. But a listen to Wind Chimes, for example, reveals a hauntingly beautiful deranged symphony. Quite frankly, it's Wo..." [+] Reply

"The second half of this album has a specific melancholy mood that I have never heard in any other music. It evokes a sense of loss without approaching any catharsis." Reply

"Enormous, noisy, maddening, and altogether absolutely beautiful. "Pronk" is a terrible, ugly word for what it is (almost "IDM" terrible), but The Cardiacs somehow managed to merge the elements of progressive rock with the spirit of punk without looking like complete idiots. Sing to God is their d..." [+] Reply
""Lizard" is King Crimson's third album, originally released in 1971. Although there had been some lineup changes, not least the departure of lead-singer Greg Lake, most of the original King Crimson psychedelia sound remains intact. The new singer Gordon Haskell can glimpsewise sound like Peter Ga..." [+] Reply
