"Beyonce's follow-up to Renaissance has been characterized as Queen Bey's "country album." Not outside the realm of possibility as she's flirted with it on early records--not to mention she's from Texas; Beynoce is for sure familiar with country. Though she typically dabbles in contemporary trends..." [+] Reply

"An underrated masterpiece. Red, Powder Blue, Newborn, Asleep in the Back, Scattered Black and White are all breathtaking. Amazed it's not rated higher; Radiohead fans should like this one." Reply

"This is brilliant, think they might even have improved on Attack on Memory. Sounds more cohesive, the singer isn't as grating as he could get on that album, the songs are all melodic and accessible while maintaining a pretty raw sound. Pattern Walks is my favourite track here, with its You Made M..." [+] Reply

"The moods and feelings that the music on this album generates are cerebral in nature, akin to an outer body experience. Listening to this haunting music late a night in darkness, one can perhaps imagine levitating in a vortex of empty space in which exist ghostly figures in animated suspension be..." [+] Reply

"This is a really cool collection of songs, that feels like more than the sum of its parts. The opener is the obvious highlight, but the rest is very good as well" Reply

"A very powerful voice finding a very sweet and deep atmosphere thanks to the beautiful acoustic arangements that contrast with Waters more traditionally electric approach, it sure has a lot of delta in the Robert Johnson vibe but it has more in common to what Rick Rubin would later achieve for Jo..."

"Billed as his possible last album, PPD is a renaissance of sorts for the man, with the album revisiting one of his classic lp's - The Idiot. Whilst not as good, it is nice to hear him successfully come back with some of his best material in years." Reply

"Because of the little instrumental tracks/vignettes this is not an album that is easy to rate solely on tracks alone but as a whole is second only to Electro Shock Blues in the Eels studio catalogue. It may take a couple of listens to really grow on you so don't give up on it!" Reply
