"Quite simply, one of the best albums ever made. dEUS arrived fully formed; grown-up's, arty, experimental, somehow inebriated and yet as coherent as hell. For a while, they were rated among right thinking folk as the finest band on the planet. WCS is a true classic." Reply

"There would be plenty of reasons to be growing tired of Peggy‘s shtick. Last year's Scaring the Hoes had its moments, but an overly online vernacular and ropey finish stopped it from staying amongst my favourites of 2023 – not to mention his fawning over Kanye earlier this year when offered a pro..."

"I think this is my favourite Kozelek album. It's not perfect ('He Always Felt Like Dancing' is a little irritating, and the relentless click-track percussion of that song is sort of jarring when set against the rest of the album, but the way the melody slowly unfolds and reveals itself at the sam..."

"Also scratch just naming those 2 songs, just about every song here is amazing. While it may drag on a bit at 66 minutes, it completely makes up for it in sheer talent and composition. Also gotta point out that "The Heaviest Matter in the Universe" may just be true." Reply
"When Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far mo..." [+] Reply

"With Monk jazz changed for ever. This strange and dear bear was another world himself. Without any doubt, the best composer (alongside with Ellington) of history of jazz. Listen anywhere of his tunes: "Blue Monk", "Round About Midnight", "Epistrophy", "Crepuscule with Nellie", "Bemsha Swing", "Ru..." [+] Reply

"Caribou has always been a slow burner for me. 'Our Love' took me a year or two to fully appreciate (and now is on my short list for best albums of the decade). I've gone through 'Suddenly' at least 3 times now, and have yet to notice a track I don't like. Bottom line, Caribou is keeping up with t..." [+] Reply

"This album is incredibly interesting to listen to. You have to be impressed by the sheer scope of it. I mean, These New Puritans use just about every instrument you can imagine, this album is almost like a minimalistic symphony of sorts. TNP keep kind of reinventing themselves over each album. Th..."

"This is the sunniest collection from a master, and this album is also notable for the restraint he exercises here - no song is longer than four minutes. I love the opening of "Starting a New Life"...."when I hear that robin sing, well, I know it's coming on spring..." Later in the album he sings ..." [+] Reply
