"Really impressive debut. They've really taken the sound of their hit 'Chocolate' and ran with it - all the songs have plunky sounding guitars and plenty of atmospheric reverb. It's a pop album at heart, and there are some great tunes, but sadly it doesn't feature as much ambient moments as found ..."  [+]  Reply

"perhaps the greatest mixtape of alltime, dont sleep on this because it is mac miller. incredibly introspective and insightful look at growing up, drug use and the impact of fame, but not cartoonish in the way a record like atrocity exhibition is. really give this a good listen, incredibly underated."  Reply

"The first in a run of five albums that testify to Stevie Wonder's genius. Obviously influenced by Sly and the family Stone, music of my mind, has a psychedelic rock sound to it, and though it probably doesn't feature any individual classic songs, there are still some fantastic tracks here. Superm..."  [+]  Reply

"It is right. Mogwai reveals its pure beauty alive. But, exactly on this album, we can discover why they are so extraordinary hooked and let your neck hair rise... Listen full force"  Reply

"It swings like jazz, wails like blues, and has a funky groove. This album was way ahead of its time and remains at the top of the jazz heap as well as the guitar heap for any genre. Burell's absolutely masterful technique is on display throughout as well. Absolutely faultless."  Reply

"THE BETTER HALF Remember way back when. Back on my first post. When I compared the first half of Donovan’s double LP as being some of the best folk rock EVER released. As good as The Byrd’s Mr. Tamborine Man. As good as Love’s Forever Changes. I meant it. I really did. I LOVE those ten songs with..."  [+]  Reply
