"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

"You feel like you've just caught a taxi to fulfill your next mundane task at hand with your dysfunctional relationship with life; but your cab driver is an eccentric Japanese man and he sends you to space and takes you on a 50 minute tour exploring the universe. It's the dreamiest and most beauti..." [+] 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

"I listened to this for the first time a week ago, and I've since gotten terribly addicted to it. We'll see how long the hype holds up, but I'm really high on this record for now." Reply

"Samba and soul-what a wonderful combination! The strings bring moments of bliss and beauty into the fast paced rhythms, and Jorge’s voice is just so carefree and fun. Truly the finest Brazil has to offer!" 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

"I'm a total sucker for this type of music. Hazy, laconic, drugged out. The perfect stuff for a codeine cough syrup bender. To me, it's the ultimate romantic music in the world. Of course, I also think Charlotte Sometimes is the most romantic song in the entire world. While my kids ( & probably mo..." [+] Reply

"Having listened to this a few times now, it has really grown on me. This is a rather refreshing album with plenty of hints of 60s soft rock, but with a modern twist, as well as the excellent vocal work of Turner and Kane. The overall sound of the album is really nice. A warm, full-bodied and deta..." [+] Reply
