"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

"This is definitely not a B-sides album. Yes, the songs were recorded at the same time as Wall of Eyes but they collated 2 albums of very different aesthetics - the various songs chosen to best suit the feeling they were looking for. This album is a meandering jam that incorporates all the playful..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the first M83 album I bought and it turned out to be completely worth it. Every song here feels like it has its own personality and draws out different emotions from me that almost feels like they bring back great memories that I've forgotten. Forgo, Saturday = Youth does what title says..."  [+]  Reply

"I really like this album, my favorite is "Honeychain"...I remember taking a road trip from Las Vegas to San Francisco through the Mojave desert north to Yosemite, then left to the ocean...I had this cassette playing and "Honeychain" seemed to fit perfectly with the mood of thi..."  [+]  Reply

"Well, it's not the smartest album that The Shins have ever done but you know what? After all the albums that I've listened to over the last couple of years, sometimes it's nice to just hear some simple pop once in a while. I like the songs like For a Fool and 40 Mark Strasse where I can just kick..."  [+]  Reply

"Reading comments for this album, all I can think about this site is that people here either have a great sense of humor, an awful taste or are completely nuts. Taylor Swift a great songwriter? Please tell me you're joking."  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

"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

"This was Prince's first full album with the New Power Generation. It's a very good album that sounds totally fresh. My friends sometimes ask how I can have a billion albums by Prince and David Bowie and the like, I guess they think it must all sound the same because they're solo artists and they ..."  [+]  Reply
