"I think this album may even be better than Back to Black. Listen to the song, "Amy, Amy, Amy." It's got a horn, what I think is a snare drum, and just the tiniest hint of guitar, and Amy's voice and her lyrics. Listen to the phrasing of the that song. Her appreciation of Frank Sinatra is apparent..."  [+]  Reply

"I think this album works as a whole, rather than the sum of its parts - there are no real weal tracks and there is a nice consistency of sound and feel to the album. Afterimage, Red Sector A and Between The Wheels are the best moments."  Reply

"This is a very good album, with two very different sides. Side 1 (the first 5 songs) is Spoon at their best, 5 incredible tracks, well-produced and catchy as ever. Side 2 (the 5 last songs) covers new grounds for Spoon and is more experimental. First, there's "Can I Sit Next To You" that could ha..."  [+]  Reply

"I know I might get a lot of crap for this, but as my chart suggests, this is my very favorite Roger Waters album with or without Pink Floyd. The only exception is The Wall, but even that gap has gotten closer recently. I find it amazing and somewhat sad how relevant the album continues to be toda..."  [+]  Reply

"Any Pepper album with Frusciante is better than an album without. So Mother's Milk lands 5th in their catalogue for me. This is a band still figuring out their identity with the wrong producer that wants their sound heavier than it should be. This album hits and misses as they search for what the..."  [+]  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,..."  [+]  Reply

"Released on the same day as, blood money, Alice, is another of Tom Waits' musical collobarations, this time inspired by the books of Lewis Carroll. It's a more orchestral affair than Waits had previously released, with even nods back to his seventies recordings. The title track is just that, a sm..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is just impressive. First of all, it’s sixteen tracks long, which is certainly ambitious for a folk album, and, perhaps even more ambitious for a folk album, it’s somewhat of a concept album. It’s not a concept album in that there’s some kind of running theme throughout the album, or s..."  [+]  Reply
