"I think of this album more like spoken poetry. There is a strong presence of the literary tradition in this album, and then you have the impressive rhythmical guitar that comes with the lyrics and there you have it: an impressive collection of songs created by one of the most important folk singe..."

"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

"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

"A real interesting switch up in mood and sound from last year’s ‘Laurel Hell’ and dare I say it punches just as much as an overall piece of work…" Reply

"One of the most important artists in the development of modern Western music. Definitely deserving of more acclaim." Reply

"I've heard some people call this better than Band on the Run. Can't say I agree, but it is a damn good record that is a high point for Wings. Particularly the first 6-7 tracks are fab. And it's immaculately produced. There's a great article about Paul being a pop auteur, and I think I can get beh..." [+] Reply

"Sludgy, Sabbathy, Doom Metal. This album rocks. Definitely the Melvins "big record company" album, but still very enjoyable. However, don't buy into the idea Kurt Cobain had much to do with this album... It was basically all Buzz and Dale." Reply

"R.E.M.'s best release. The only weak cut is "Stumble". The rest is basically perfect. The songs are energized (even on the sections where things seem to be quiet) to the point where it all sounds psychotic. Stipe's hooks are wonderful and always unpredictable, and Peter Buck's riffs are so good t..." [+] Reply

"I'm not much of a hip-hop fan, but this album had me straight up addicted for a long time. I'd listened to aseop in highschool during the "none shall pass" era, but stopped for years. When I looked him up and found this newest album I was blown away by how someone I thought had perfected his craf..." [+] Reply
