"Like Enya at her most harmonic, Sara Bareilles at her most melodic, Janelle Monae at her most musical. Amazing album." Reply

"The Colonel really ruined Elvis' career. Sure Elvis got rich, but the quality of songs and scripts he was given were utter trash." Reply

"I love Saint Etienne: their melodicism, accessibility, danceability, cleverness, cool passion and taste. And their impeccable album discography starts with this classy debut." Reply

"Everyone's always like "ooh, founding fathers rapping LOL" but I honestly don't see it that way, this is just a natural progression of Broadway musicals, instead of everything being sung through, it's just said with a rhythm that keeps you involved. Of course there's that AND an abundance of just..." [+] Reply

"Pusha T sounds almost as good as Daytona Pusha T on this project, but the production does not for the most part. It starts off well with the fantastic “Brambleton” but the strong start does not continue. While Daytona is heavy sample based like this album; the choice of samples on Daytona create ..." [+] Reply

"What a wonderful surprise! This was very enjoyable. Other comments have noted similarities to Pink Floyd and Tame Impala, but I think there is influence from The Weeknd and Kid Cudi here too. Even though his sound has been elevated with these new sonic pallets, he still sounds like the same artis..." [+] Reply

"Some consider this too 'poppy'. This 'supergroup' was formed from the ashes of 'Yes', 'King Crimson' and 'ELP' and given its release in 1982 could never have been 'Close to the Edge', 'Brain Salad Surgery', or 'In the Court of the Crimson King'. Granted, the album is radio friendly and delivered ..." [+] Reply

"It's a poor man's Oracular Spectacular, which isn't as much of an insult as it sounds but the parallels are out there. Sleepyhead and The Reeling are catchy little pop tunes that will probably remind you of MGMT's Time to Pretend and Kids. Hopefully they'll get to stretch their legs a little more..." [+] Reply

"Strong piano soft rock, although not as consistent as its follow-up. Piano Man is a classic and other tracks worth mentioning include Travelin' Prayer and Captain Jack. Unfortunately the mid-section does not quite hold up." Reply
