"I heard "The Gun" originally in the film Rock N Rolla and I'm glad I did it helped me discover Lou who is now one of my favorite artists. This album is one of his best solo works. The songs blend together as Lou seems to describe his life at that point in time." Reply

"A welcome return of stripped-down, sometimes experimental, always catchy songs from Europe's strongest pop star." Reply

"Well, it's not the smartest album that The Shins have ever done but you know what? After all the albums that I've listened to over the last couple of years, sometimes it's nice to just hear some simple pop once in a while. I like the songs like For a Fool and 40 Mark Strasse where I can just kick..." [+] Reply

"With this album, Genesis had finally tipped the scale in favor of pop: they were now more pop than prog, and fans weren't too pleased. I actually like the new direction: every song on here is shamelessly catchy and none of them blow me away musically, but I can still tell that this band that coul..." [+] Reply

Maybe for relaxing, maybe for making you enjoy the time, this album destroy your life expectations, building everything in a beautiful psychedelic orchestra. I like the vibes that it trans..."

"I can't help but grow tired of the Eastern Europe fanfare feel after the first half. Shame though, guy sure can write a song, has a good voice, and a 00s classic in "Nantes". Good album, very good if you're more partial to the stylistic treatment than I am." Reply

"Absolute masterpiece! Saw her live as opening act for Lana Del Rey and she is an actual goddess. Her EP Por Vida was very promising and she absolutely delivered. Favorites include "Miami", "Flight 22", and "Dead To Me" Can't wait to see what she does next!" Reply

"I haven't been this excited about finding a new artist in quite a while. There's such a catchy energy behind these songs, especially the lead single Default and songs like Zumm Zumm and Wor. Even though they seemed to be listed as "Experimental" they really come off as more of a streamlined Anima..." [+] Reply

"with Iris being possibly the best rock ballad EVER written and the rest of the album being a decent soft rock collection it bugs my mind how in the world this album is not in top 10 of '98 on this site." Reply
