"Another masterclass in mood, tension, orchestration and drama from the great Canadian band - and a fantastic title for the victims of genocide in Gaza. Free Palestine." 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

"This album is a masterclass on being able to balance laid back yet effective cool jazz/bop sounds with out of this world experimental jazz. Some mesmerizing moments on here, but some 'less is more' memorable hooks as well. What a brilliantly layered record." Reply

"The standout classic album by Sananda Maitreya in his former shape and with his former name. It does not sound as good now as it did when first released. The quality of the singles (T2, T5 & T9) stand out from the othet tracks. T9 was the masterpiece and swansong(? )of a potentially great Contemp..." [+] Reply

"One of the most underrated female artists ever. Judee Sill is sadly no longer with us, but she released two excellent solo records that are criminally overlooked. Featuring stunning songs such, Jesus was a crossmaker, my man on love, and, crayon angels, this album is up there with what Joni Mitch..." [+] Reply

"Production wise, this album takes Foreigner up a notch. After listening to the first three tracks, three great rockers, you are ready for the ballad Waiting For A Girl Like You. Unfortunately it is followed by the relatively weak Luanne. Side two starts of with one of their best tracks Urgent fol..." [+] Reply

"A pretty solid album. The only real fault with it is the order of the songs. The opening 3 tracks are all so dynamite that everything that comes after seems a bit anti-climatic. I think opening with The Core, and THEN cocaine (with Lay Down Sally somewhere in the middle) would give the album a co..." [+] Reply

"Like a lot of great recent albums from Radiohead (A Moon Shaped Pool) and Bon Iver (i,i), American Head combines a number of elements from some of the bands best works. Yoshimi and At War With the Mystics are probably the most identifiable, with a side of Soft Bulletin. This is the album I was ho..." [+] Reply
