"So good! There is only one or two songs on here I MIGHT skip over, and even those aren't bad songs. Great album." 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

"I don´t understand why critics don´t use to talk about this album as one of the best of his career. It is his most ambitious, complex, conceptual, interesting and longest album. I really think it's one of his 5 greatest masterpieces." 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

"I just want to say that the third part of this, Cantabile semplice, is one of the best pieces of music that I have heard." Reply
"If there exists a person who simultaneously has heard the term "5th Wave of Emo" and thinks it's not arrived, they surely do now. "Dream-pop" never went out of style per se, but it has become an increasingly amorphous definition. A term coined by one of Shoegaze's few POC artists has come to cove..." [+] Reply

"Wrecking ball is Bruce springsteen's angry response to the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and the recession that had hit the U.S. and the rest of the world. Springsteen really has a bee in his bonnet, especially on the sarcastic opening track, we take care of our own, reminiscent of, born in the ..." [+] Reply

"I am one of a few who enjoys the later Genesis as much as the earlier Genesis. I really like this album, it has quite a typical eighties feel about it. The opening track has a very simple sequencedsynth bass line which was a foundation for many eighties bands, so you can't blame the boys for embr..." [+] Reply

"Oh, I love that guitar and bass aesthetic...what a sleepy, dream atmosphere. London’s voice lilting over top is divine. Nice studio technique shown here too, such as the vocals in the codas to both “Cry Me A River” and “I Love You”." Reply
