Still hard to pinpoint them as they have sounds in garage rock, baroque pop, classic rock, and indie rock. I like the consistency of this album and am looking forward to my future listens of theirs o..." Reply

"Équinoxe (English: "equinox") was the second major-label album release by French musician Jean Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus (with license to Polydor) in late 1978. The album reflects a day in the life of a human being, from morning to night. Parts 1 to 4 (i.e. side A) and tracks 5 to..." Reply

"This album is just as good as any of the other Shins albums. The instrumentation is cool, the lyrics are well-written and the music is great. It’s everything you could want and ask for in a Shins album. Whether you’re a Shins fan or not, I highly recommend this album to everyone. It is most defin..." Reply

"What a great voice Hank has got. His songs are so powerful and his life story is full of tragedy and sorrow." Reply

"Just a smidge top heavy, but otherwise, one of the most wonderful albums of the year. Smooth, catchy, and full of life. Not to mention one of the most well-written and heartfelt R&B records in a while." Reply

"This is a very underrated Deep Purple album. Ian Gillan's voice was exceptional here... like always. And Blackmore... well Blackmore is a god." Reply

"Some rock fans think this was the first Alice Cooper album. In fact it was Alice and his original band's first commercially successful release. This one is a pure classic. The original band had actually made two earlier albums in called Pretties For You and Easy Action. This is the first Alice al..." Reply

"FKA Twigs continues to outdo herself. This is such an interesting sound, very futuristic, very neo-punk, very peculiar. She's very original with her creations and I love that. Her voice is amazing as always, her most put together and cohesive project yet. The aesthetic is also very thought out an..." Reply

"I generall agree with y'all commenters, except daftpunter's assertion that Sgt. Pepper is "tripe". That just seems excessively revisionist. Sgt. Pepper is a remarkable work of art, though it's hard to listen to it with "fresh ears." But yeah this is one of the most underrated albums I've ever enc..." Reply
