"Fantastic follow-up to Kaputt. Love it. Bejar definitely gained a huge group of new listeners four years ago, and I'm assuming he figured he'd need to up his game a notch. It's a super lush album, layered with dense orchestration, yet it still feels so dreamy and light. TImes Square and Dream Lov..." [+] Reply

"This record is gorgeous. A post rock, downtempo, and triphop record that gets to me. Love the atmosphere these songs make. In the far reaches of space or in the distant tundra on a deserted planet, this record gets to me perfectly." Reply

"The world's first (and only?) metal band that doesn't take itself - not to mention metal music - seriously, but who put writing good songs its top priority. It's funny how most metal heads are surprisingly easy-going and even intellectual people, yet they often listen to music that is as insular ..." [+] Reply
"This album feels like it is just there in my opinion, it is neither good nor bad. The rhythms just don't captivate you as much as you would think a dance album would do. I find myself struggling to even bop my head along to some of the songs. It is a little slow in places as well and does drag ev..." [+] Reply

"Turnstiles is one of Billy's greatest albums, with several classic tracks, however, it also has without a doubt the worst song he ever wrote, the mindless, unimpressive sequence of sounds known as "All You Want to do is Dance". Get the album, skip that track. Other than that though, this is a gre..." [+] Reply

"An absolutely bonkers metal album. The German group Helloween give us an extremely enjoyable record with spectacularly over the top performances. Obviously, heavily influenced by Queen and Iron Maiden, seven keys, is a lot of fun. A tale that wasn't right, future world, and the epic, Halloween, a..." [+] Reply

"'Grace Under Pressure' moved the band out of the progressive arena and into a much more synth based eighties sound which absolutely worked for Rush. A number of excellent synth based albums followed and I sometimes forget how good this one is. 'Manhattan Project' and 'Mystic Rhythms' are personal..." [+] Reply

"A somewhat underrated gem. The first 3 songs are great Eye No Alphabet Street and Glam Slam. Alphabet Street is one of my favorites. Anna Stesia and Dance On keeps things moving before the ballad When 2 are in love which is lovely along with I Wish U Heaven and Positivity." Reply

"One of the great disco albums ever. Donna summer plays the 'tart with a heart' on this hugely influential LP. Working again with Giorgio Moroder, this is a brilliant concept album featuring superb tracks such as, hot stuff, sunset people, and the title track. There's a couple of ballads but most ..."
