"It's pretty common that a reunion album from a group that has been away from a while ends up being a bit of a let down but this isn't the case with Jarvis Cocker and friends' first LP for 24 years. A thoroughly entertaining listen from front to back which has everything that made the band appeali..." [+] 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

"Released in 1984, this album had a profound impact on my burgeoning music tastes. Not necessarily because it’s particularly good (I’ll get to that) but rather how it opened my eyes and ears to the world of 4AD which in turn lead me to artists such as Big Star, The Cocteau Twins, Belly, Bauhaus, D..."

""In the Wake of Poseidon" has been criticized for reminding a little too much of its predecessor, "In the Court of the Crimson King." Well, of course, there are similarities but also significant differences. Is it, by the way, that bad to point out a masterpiece like "In the Court of the Crimson ..." [+] Reply

"This is one of Dylan's most underrated albums, at least in my opinion. I think it gets kind of forgotten, as it comes after the high artistic achievements of, blood on the tracks, and, desire, and the forthcoming 'god' trilogy. Opener, changing of the guard's, is great, with some nice E-street ba..." [+] Reply

"The late 60s were such a vibrant time for Brazilian music! I'm glad this album was made as to capture the magic of the tropicália scene." Reply
"Sometimes I'm glad I completely ignore the ratings & comments on this site before I listen to any sub genres of pop. This is a perfectly fine record without the pretentiousness of a St. Vincent or FKA Twigs record because that's not what this is. Electropop gang FOR LIFE" Reply

"They added a lot of new wave and volume to "so jealous" that wasn't there on "if it was you", but the hooks were slightly lost in the process. "The Con" represents the best of their last 2 albums, with all the quick-to-the-point hooks of "if it was you" and the attitude and energy of "so jealous"..." [+] Reply
"Superb album from a great wordsmith. I think it needs to be listened to/rated by an English audience as some of the language would not mean anything to others. Such a tight band delivering a great selection. Blockheads is a favourite of mine and is normally their encore number. Norman Watt=Roy ha..." [+] Reply
