"82-87 isn't 5 years, it's 6 years, count them. 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87. so it's 8 records full of "noisy trash-songs" in SIX years! it's interesting though how the lowest rating comes from a guy who comments like that, you know this must be good stuff! I don't know what the "unhelpful" votes were ..." [+] Reply

"461 Ocean Boulevard, has got to be the best Eric Clapton solo LP. It's a lovely laid back album, obviously heavily influenced by J.J. Cale, it features blues, reggae, and rock sounds amongst others. The traditional opener, motherless children, is probably the most rock based track, and that's fol..." [+] Reply

"Interesting for sure. Fluffy Little Clouds is of course great. Spanish Castles in the Sky is one of those strange tracks that I want to love, the whole vibe and atmosphere and instrumentation of it is really pleasing and has so much potential, and yet its just squandered. The track really undergo..." [+] Reply

"Honestly this is where Pantera loses me just a little. The vocals take a turn that is too guttural for me. Almost screaming. I just prefer his angry, yet clear vocals." Reply

"A good follow up to, Diamond life. Promise, is a much more jazzy affair than it's predecessor with the use of brass much more prominent. Nice performances on this perfect late night, lights down album. Very good." Reply

"Tailored, safe-yet-exciting post-punk. A solid debut album that captures themes of youth in a positive outlook on a downtrodden world. Some stellar guitar work on this record, particularly on Concrete, Friction and Angie. It's hardly the most innovative debut ever, but there's a reason I've been ..." [+] Reply

"Well, this was certainly a strange album. 'Given Up' comes on and I'm expecting this album to be terrible. The guy is screaming and swearing without no real reason. The next song does a complete U turn and is rather pleasant. Next you have Bleed It Out, which isn't as bad as 'Given Up', even a li..." [+] Reply

"(Pristine sophisti-pop album with incredibly dynamic production, slick and sexy saxophone, and that sweet and unassuming vocal work from Tamara Lindeman.) This is just a fabulously executed and gorgeous album. Every drum beat and horn and line and detail is so pristinely recorded and intentional ..." [+] Reply

"I'm kinda obsessed. This is so good. Disarmingly honest lyrics about romantic relationships, queer awakenings and becoming your true self. On top of that, amazing hooks and her voice is excellent. Add to that some polished production, and you've got a really winning pop album" Reply
