"Very strong follow-up to Leftoverture, high-energy prog/hard rock all the way through save for the wonderful gentleness of Dust in the Wind. Definitely a must-listen album for prog enthusiasts like its predecessor." Reply

"This is a phenomenal metal album in my opinion! Frim the first 20 seconds of track one this album is pure shred, riff, and metal up the ass. It actually blew me away how much I liked this. My favorite artist is Megadeth and this album competes with their best in my opinion. Then you get to Voice ..." [+] Reply

"I don't think there's ever been a greater opening line - to anything, including books and films - than, "I just fucked your bitch in some Gucci flip-flops"." Reply

"CLOUDDEAD is a world of its own. The atmospheric dream-like beats flow into the album from the edges of space, slowly coming together into a loosely held congregation of the kind of hypnotic and emotionally evocative electronic twinklings and drones reminiscent of some of BoC's more spacious work..."

"Great artists, who did not always get along. It was reported Mingus left before the album was complete as it was agreed by all three artists to collaborate, however, Ellington tended to have things done his way to the displeasure of Mingus. Regardless, it sounds great, and one of the better playi..." [+] Reply

"A soothing, haunting sound from beginning to end. This album invokes so much feeling and emotion, and if I feel like listening to it I have to listen to it completely through every time. Songs like "Cutting My Fingers Off" and "I Would Hate You if I Could" cut deep and are absolutely gut wrenchin..." [+] Reply
"If you know anything about the UK’s electronic music scene from the past five years, you’ve heard of Burial. William Bevan, aka Burial, is the producer in the scene, the man that spearheaded the genre known as dubstep, with a sound that doesn’t sound at all similar to what people think of today w..."

"Came to Geese first, so I expected more of the same. Instead, I got one of the lovelier records I've heard in a minute. Gentle, funny, insightful stuff here." Reply
"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
