"I first listened to this way back in February, via official stream, a week before the album was released. I knew nothing about Lykke Li at the time, didn't know what to expect, not in even in terms of genres, and there were no reviews at the time of course. But I was pleasantly surprised, I thoug..."  [+]  Reply

"Not an album that you could class as a top one hundred but a bit like say The Postal Service - very addictive and will get a lot of repeat plays. Songs with a lot of melody that pleasantly drift and swell - a bit like a sedated MGMT"  Reply

"A slight step above the previous two albums - it's certainly a great album, and probably above average compared to DT's other work. The album leans more on the soft side than the heavy side, but that's fine with me. Each track brings something interesting to the table, and I don't feel like any t..."  [+]  Reply

"These guys once played on the shore of the Arctic Ocean with Metallica for a bunch of Inuit kids and Molson contest winners. Could you imagine? A hell of a show, I'm sure."  Reply

"Dylan's last album of original material up to 2016. Again, it's got a similar feel to all his recent records. It's got some good stuff on here, and some not so good. Best tracks are the lovely, soon after midnight, the angry, pay in blood, and the excellent, scarlet town. Thankfully, Dylan, keeps..."  [+]  Reply

"The music scene in Amherst/Northampton, Massachuetts, back in the late eighties and early nineties has to have produced more great bands per capita than any other in history. J Mascis is one of rock history's greatest under-the-radar guitar gods, underrated perhaps because his extravagant soloing..."  [+]  Reply

"It's pretty rare album art draws me in this deep. I just did a very cursory review of some of my collection, and none of the art hits me like this one. Dare I say, side by side, it makes a lot of album art look like just something that everyone sends with an album because they have to. I like the..."  [+]  Reply

"Trust, tends to be overlooked and certainly underrated, it includes some of Costello's best songs of the eighties. Clubland, is one of his best opening tracks, and it's followed by the brilliant, lovers walk. The highlights on the record though are, the excellent, new lace sleeves, the duet with ..."  [+]  Reply
