"Really good album. I’ve never heard anything like it in terms of genre blending. I was completely blown away at parts. I think it tapers off towards the end in terms of quality songs." Reply
"This may be one of the best-recorded blues albums. It sounds like these dudes are in the room with you." Reply

"This was a thoroughly enjoyable album and there seems to be a few more risks taken on this album than their previous work. While there still is the odd generic song that could and should have been cut, there is also a lot of great songs. Such as Good Girls and How Not To Drown where the Robert Sm..." [+] Reply

"If there exists a person who simultaneously has heard the term "5th Wave of Emo" and thinks it's not arrived, they surely do now. "Dream-pop" never went out of style per se, but it has become an increasingly amorphous definition. A term coined by one of Shoegaze's few POC artists has come to cove..." [+] Reply

"I've always been surprised by the low rank of this album since I consider it to be her second best. Then I realized it's because I've been listening to bootleg version of this album all along! *MIND BLOWN* Extraordinary Machine has two versions - the bootleg Jon Brion version and the official Mik..."

"Top to bottom this is just one of most beautifully produced rap albums ever I've heard. And the raps are so damn sexy too. Man, I just think this is basically a perfect, filler-free, all banger filled masterpiece. There's absolutely no fat here. No bs skits, nothing but absolutely astounding beat..." [+] Reply

"Explosions In The Sky have found a formula and they stick to it here, but when the formula is just so good why would you change it up? As per other releases the guitars sound so comforting and so pure. The crescendos sound so triumphant and so inspiring. This album transports you to a world of pe..." [+] Reply

"Frankly, I don't know what Lambchop could have done best than Nixon (and particularly "Up with People") to get some love. Delicious orchestral country-soul is one of the best LPs of the 00s, try it." Reply
