"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

"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

"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

"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."

"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

"Disturbingly beautiful album. This gave me chills the first time I listened to it. A worthy follow up to The Drift, if not better. His lyrics make zero sense, but I think they're full of really haunting and bizarrely beautiful imagery. And the music.... wow, just wow. The track "Corps De Blah" is..." [+] Reply
