"It's mostly average Dream Theater fare (which I consider to be a cut above the norm so that's fine with me). The lead track is balls-to-the-wall, and the second disk is a 40-minute epic. Can't go wrong there. The album has typical Dream Theater dynamics - plenty of ballads mixed in with the heavi..."  [+]  Reply

"This album benefits from stronger writing than the first one, and the musical talent is unbelievable. It's terrific all the way through. Also, this happens to be a great album to play on a road trip if you ever get the chance."  Reply

"Name a song that grooves harder Juice, I dare you. This album is full of awesome song craft, uplifting bravado, and excellent production. Heavily recommend 85/100 (Very Good)"  Reply

"Daniel Lopatin creates on this record a sonic representation of the virtual world's fragmented false memory. This is the least decipherable album he's yet released, which makes it quite a 'hard' listen, but this is definitely the most bold one too. This is a contemplating on themes of virtual mem..."  [+]  Reply

"Naked City is avant-garde at its most fun. Inspired by Looney Tunes veteran composer and arranger Carl Stalling, Zorn's Naked City consists mostly of fast compositions that explore a wide array of genres, styles and moods in a brief amount of time. The dissonant insanity of free jazz and noise, t..."  [+]  Reply

"It sucks being sick. People treat you different. Even doctors. Even your family. Brandon Cox aka Deerhunter knows this frustration. He knows the despair. Of being alienated, ostracized. But he’s done something extraordinary with this anger and frustration. He’s channeled it into a rallying cry. H..."  [+]  Reply

"Outkast released Idlewild and it was a mediocre album at best. I thought Outkast was finished and maybe the band is but Big Boi sounds like he is just getting started with this album. Wow what a way to start out! Whenever an amazing band decides to call it quits and the main members go out and st..."  [+]  Reply

"I feel like Joni Mitchell is a genius. Like, I recognize that now. Its like she envisions or, more accurately, hears music with more clarity than almost any human in pop music history. From the jump, with this solo debut of hers, its clear she is a legitimate A+ guitarist, a freakishly pristine a..."  [+]  Reply

"Phil tries to recreate the dark, sinister mood from face value's opening track with "i don't care anymore", and it mostly works as it's its own powerful tune, but there's a sort of mythos missing. Cover "you don't care anymore" was an interesting choice and played well by phil. "don't let him ste..."  [+]  Reply
