"Overshadowed by Ladies & Gentlemen, Let It Come Down is right up there with its predecessor. Addiction, relapse, recovery, floating, submerging. I actually like Let It Come Down slightly better than Ladies & Gentlemen because I never tire of melancholy ballads."  Reply

"One of my favourite indi rock albums from the 2000s. Not a weak track and I'm surprised it's not rated much higher considering I'd expect the YYY's to hit a demographic sweet spot on this site."  Reply

"Discounting, avalon, I would say this is the last great Roxy Music album. After this they would slip into that slightly safe and dull white soul sound, something that would have been unthinkable up to now. Anyway, siren, is superb. Love is the drug, both ends burning, and, just another high, are ..."  [+]  Reply

"It's important to note that the track listing here does not reflect the expanded CD version, which covers a total of 33 songs over two discs. The score I'm giving this album is based on that version, and more particularly its first disc. That disc contains only songs from the first three albums. ..."  [+]  Reply

"Awesome job. Portugal. The Man keeps trying new stuff without abandoning their sound, and Danger Mouse helped a lot on this one, making a great and catchy album. Creep In a T-Shirt, Evil Friends, Plastic Soldiers, PYR&B are some of the stand-out tracks, Smile is a perfect way to finish it."  Reply

"First listen through, I have to say this is pretty exciting. He evokes comparisons to Dylan and Elvis as premature as those always are. Jake Bugg sounds like a true believer with the musical chops to deliver on a vision."  Reply

"Starts with three punk metal tracks (anticipating the hair metal 80s), then comes a 10 minute Doors-style jam, while tracks 6 & 7 do a Jethro Tull thing for some reason, and I don't even know what track 9 is. Dang it, why can't albums today be this lovably random?"  Reply

"One of The greatest jazz albums. An absolute masterpiece. It's right there with Moncur's Evolution, Mclean's Destination Out, Miles Smiles, Kind of Blue. If you are dabbling in postbop, and are looking to strike it rich on album satisfaction, you won't be disappointed."  Reply
