"Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghosts is a euphoric album. From beginning to end it is extremely captivating and completely enveloping. The majority of the album is instrumental and the instruments used include synthesizers and drum machines. You might think that this album would get old and borin..." [+] Reply

"Very good - not as groundbreaking as ASATT but not a step backwards at all; maybe a step to the side, or a jog in place. Faves were Jerrod, Sound of Rain, and Time (Is)." Reply

"I must have listened to this album three times a day for about two months straight back in the beginning of last year. I've completely forgotten about it since then.

"There is an interesting history to this album. Actually Badfinger's third album was ready for release in spring 1971, but for several reasons Apple would not release the album. Some of the songs were re-recorded while others were simply scrapped. Fortunately these songs have surfaced in recent ye..." [+] Reply

"it saddens me that this album hasn't even broke the top 1,000. lupe is so over-looked as an artist its not even funny, lyricism is mirrored by none, the modern-age Nas. I firmly believe it's one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, the 2nd best of the 2000s after marshall mathers lp." Reply

"The lyrics are amazing, the work of Richey is more obvious than on Generation Terrorists. This album in particular seems to go unnoticed by some MSP fans, which is a bit unfair in my eyes, because I think it's one of their best, second only to The Holy Bible." Reply

"A masterpiece from the late 80s, it was George's big return after five years. Every song has a good atmosphere, and I think it's the album you should listen to from the first until the last song." Reply

"Bjork's always trying something different, this time she harkens back to the sound of her first few albums by using some brand new instrument creations. It's still bjork, and when tracks work, like "crystalline", they work well. i just wish she'd try more uptempo numbers like that -- a lot of tra..." [+] Reply
