"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."

"I saw Colin Stetson live earlier this year, opening for Godspeed You! Black Emperor. He walked on stage with his bass saxophone and started playing "Judges". It was a memorable moment, having never heard anything like it. I remember being deeply moved, Stetson at times almost screaming into his s..." [+] Reply

"I've always thought that UFO was a very under-rated band. I saw them in 1977 on their Lights Out tour (Cheap Trick was opening act) and they were just great live. This is a great album; I think their best (not counting Strangers in the Night, which is like a greatest hits collection and my favori..." [+] Reply
"Can't believe I'm just adding this into database. So underrated and an excellent post-hardcore album." 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

"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

"The visceral experience of a live Radiohead gig is impossible to transmit through a recording however, this did a pretty good job of it. The main 2 reasons for this are the outstandingly emotive and haunting renditions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits. Many a time have I laid back on m..." [+] Reply
