"Forget about Elvis and Chuck Berry. THIS is the best artist of the fifties! It's a shame that "Ain't That a Shame" isn't on here, though." Reply

"Easily Deerhunters best work since Cryptograms. They bring together all the rage and intensity that they've been restraining all these years, while combining that with the hooks and song structure from Microcastle. What comes out is my album of the year." Reply

"This album is all about love. Love for music, women, drugs, alcohol, life, and reggee/punk rock music. "Punk rock changed out lives man" is how the album starts out, and the boys in Sublime let it show throughout an infectiously groovy album. The main man behind the band is Mr. Bradley ..." [+] Reply

"It was released at the time of my big break-up, so it resonated with me a lot back then. Beautiful album, and underrated, too." Reply

"Hmmmm .... Well, upon first listen, this might seem to actually be a better album than Madcap. The compositions are as zany as ever, with playful lyrics and simply bizarre melodies. Also, the backup band here (including Gilmour and Wright) has made sure to augment Syd's wackiness with some actual..." [+] Reply

"Having never listened to a Thundercat project, I didn't know what to expect but I sure didn't expect a love letter to Tokyo and Goku. Even on first listen I can sense so much character in it and I'm really looking forward to getting to know the album better. Also can I just talk about that cover...." [+] Reply

I remember walking with my friend really late on 4/20 earlier this year talking about if BoC would finally drop an album this year, and then the next day the whole numbers thing sta..." [+] Reply

"This album is part of my top 100 you can check out with additional omments. Neil Young had always been one of my favorite artists, both because of his side as his more electric burst especially with Crazy Horse. "Weld" is the perfect example af the second especially because it's a live rendition ..." [+] Reply

"More a direct up-down outpouring of Mitski's usual hybrids of lushly melodic ballads and sledgehammer guitar breakdowns (often in the space of a single song), overall it does feel a bit like a trial run for Puberty 2... but wow what an opener." Reply
