"A few of the songs are jams that can sound a bit unfocused at times and White occasionally sounds like a caricature of himself, but he does it in a way that welcomes reinvention and I love the high energy here. There are some weirder more experimental moments that threw me for a loop and were ver..."  [+]  Reply

"While Leaves Turn Inside You then Repetition got me into this band, New Plastic Ideas was the album that really left a huge impression on me. The album encompasses some of the things I really love about rock music in its true form, from the raw musical expression, to the intricate melodies and me..."  [+]  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 ..."  [+]  Reply

"I thought that this was a great album, one of my personal favorites of the 2010s! I was surprised this was a debut album, as most songs are fantastic, with really great, developed pop hooks and vocal melodies. Not every song is as fantastic as the best (I couldn't get into "Less Than Thou"), but ..."  [+]  Reply

"When I first heard this album wasn't as abrasive as Midcity, I was disappointed. Midcity's harshness is what made it stand out. However, upon hearing CLPPNG for the first time I realized clipping has a lot more up their sleeves than I had originally thought. I've listened to this album many times..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most pleasant albums I've heard in a long time. I have only listened to one Smog album before I heard this album. Dream River reminds me of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter; it's the same jazzy/folky sleepy and comfortable sound, yet Bill Callahan has a universe of his own. Music don't have ..."  [+]  Reply

"Unlike The Beatles, The Rolling Stones started out by recording mostly cover songs. England's Newest Hitmakers is the US version of their debut, which was self titled in the UK. The differences are in the album cover, which in England had no text on the front, and the US version substitutes Buddy..."  [+]  Reply
