"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

"Probably A-ha’s best album although Hunting High and Low runs it close. As a follow up to that Album A-ha took a slightly different turn with style. A far heavier and more serious sound compared to their debut, but it worked really well. All songs are decent except Maybe Maybe with Manhattan Skyl..." [+] Reply

"After the death of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, they had one more really good record in them. This is it." Reply

"the polar opposite of trout mask.. only 4 or 5 notes in the piece, could be construed as simplistic, but it has such a hypnotic effect.. and each time a new bit of instrumentation comes in.. ahhhh.... fuck, i'm getting weirder by the day." Reply

"Great great Dream Theater album. Not a bad track on the album, not even Vacant, in fact it's a brilliant lead in to arguably the greatest instrumental in their catalog, Stream of Consciousness. In the Name of God is one of the best album closers of all time." Reply

"Little Simz does it again. Another excellent project with beautiful instrumentation, powerful and emotional lyrics, and a charismatic performance by Simz. While I'm not sure it surpasses Grey Area and SIMBI, I'll need more time with it, this album is more proof that Little Simz is one of the most..." [+] 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

"For a long time I thought that no album or collection can come near OK computer. Then came Misery is a butterfly and proved me as being wrong. The greatest creations usually don’t require additional supportive comparison to shine. The album is tribute to beauty and every moment in it is a masterp..." [+] 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

"A tightly packed offering of a few different beautiful stylings of Samba. Great melodies, cool arrangements, unexpected vocal jumps. Can’t imagine this not being an enjoyable listen for a majority of people." Reply
