"A kind of soul, blood on the tracks. Here, my dear, is a stunningly ambitious album dealing with Marvin Gaye's relationship, break up and divorce to his wife Anna Gordy. Apparently, Gaye even used the advance payment for the record to pay for the divorce. The music is equally incredible. Shifting..." [+] Reply

"No sophomore slump from their debut, but they still haven't peaked yet. They were honing their craft before they hit it out of the park with the next 3 albums." Reply

"First Swans album i can just put on and dive into. It sounds like a harder and noiser type of post-punk music. Much easier to listen than other albums." Reply

"A solid debut album, it's just not something I haven't heard before. The album as a whole is very minimalistic and crisp. It has the tone of summer love and summer heartbreak like so many other albums before. Most of the songs sound similar in terms of instrumentation and lyricism which makes som..." [+] Reply

"What an addicting album... swear I haven’t stopped listening to it since the night of its release. I was hooked on my first listen. Carti is surely evolving as an artist. Even if you dislike the project, there is no way you can deny that. The entire project features some new musical direction and..." [+] Reply
"Sort of channeling late-80s British alt-rock, falling somewhere between The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Stone Roses. Good, in a jangly guitar sort of way." Reply

"Shabaka Hutchings, the ubiquitous figure in London's burgeoning experimental jazz scene, is back. When he is not involved with Shabaka and The Ancestors or his quartet Sons of Kemet, the thirty-year-old saxophonist and clarinettist enjoys venturing into the confines of cosmic jazz with his extrat..."

"While my tastes generally synchronize with BEA's, in some occasions I find we divulge, and this seems to be the case now. This album is magnificent (as well as Kaputt), and seems to be, in my opinion, just as strong as any of Radiohead's best work. Bejar sings with a dynamic fervor that easily ca..." [+] Reply

"One of Spinneta's finest works. Solid on both instrumentation and lyrics, I guess non-spanish speakers won't appreciate this as much as it should, but it's certainly a classic album in Argentina. The last three tracks are glorious..." Reply
