"I've been looking for a Black Keys album that worked for me. I am pretty sure this is the one. It's got the rawness of the earlier albums but with better production"  Reply

"What a wonderful surprise! This was very enjoyable. Other comments have noted similarities to Pink Floyd and Tame Impala, but I think there is influence from The Weeknd and Kid Cudi here too. Even though his sound has been elevated with these new sonic pallets, he still sounds like the same artis..."  [+]  Reply

"This record is good, but the songs are just to damn long. In my opinion, if they had cut the majority of them down to under 5 and a half minutes, then I think it would be a 90. Also, the clipping throughout is really unfortunate."  Reply

"With all Beach Boys' album it has great harmonies, but this one is unlike any album they've recorded before."Wild Honey" has a raw soulful, loose feel with a stripped-down production. These upbeat songs are a departure from both the sunshine hits and the huge production of "Pet Sounds". This enjo..."  [+]  Reply

"This is probably the only album or set of albums that I don't want to touch. Not because it's bad. No, far from the contrary. Listening to some snip-its from this are quite jaw dropping on how potent they are. But for people who know what this album is about, there is something that feels uncanny..."  [+]  Reply

"Hot Chip put themselves on the indie pop dance-floor map with "and i was a boy from school" mining the darker aspects of electronic music on "the warning" by being more focused, all while being more pop friendly. It certainly shows in that track as well as "over and over" and "no fit state""  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
