"Unfairly judged as Queen's worst album quite often, when in actuality, this is probably their best album since 1980s the Game. Full of wonderful tunes, and only a few corny sidetrackers. The Miracle, I Want it All, Scandal, Hang on in There and Was it all Worth it are all primo Queen songs, and t..." [+] Reply

"Real Estate are the quintessential heartland rock band for the twentieth century, and I mean that mostly as praise. They play meticulously crafted, reverb-heavy jangle pop that makes for an ideal backdrop to a long drive across the plains, or a lazy Sunday lawnchair afternoon before a football ga..." [+] Reply

"If you want to hear a completely different sound that will blow your mind, give this album a try. Haunting harmonies that sound like the echo from distant centuries. Start with Polegnala e Todora (Love Song)" Reply

"Another impressive album from the brilliant Nina Simone. Sings the blues, is exactly what it says on the tin. Do I move you, backlash blues, and, blues for mama, are the standouts. Raw and atmospheric." Reply

"What a really cool change of pace for these guys. Yeah, its genre tags are "thrash metal" and "stoner metal," but I would say the intensity of it matches the more chaotic moments from Nonagon of Infinity with some aggressive vocals and crazy good guitar work. It's a very fun listen." Reply

"what a big surprise, I didn't know this band. I'll have to listen to it more times to be sure, but I think this album really is a masterpiece. It goes straight into my top five in 2023." Reply

"Brilliant album, every bit the equal of the Beatles' or Beach Boys' contemporary efforts. Though unfortunately known to only a small few. The songwriting here is top-notch, with some brilliant production touches and creative arrangements. Not a weak moment here. Wonderful." Reply

"This was the first M83 album I bought and it turned out to be completely worth it. Every song here feels like it has its own personality and draws out different emotions from me that almost feels like they bring back great memories that I've forgotten. Forgo, Saturday = Youth does what title says..." [+] Reply
