"The more I listen to this, I just can't stop. It's so refreshing to hear an artist just fucking telling it like it is. There's music that's depressing, and there's music that's honest, but rarely do the too seem to correlate. Depressing music always is so dreary and seems more intent on creating ..."  [+]  Reply

"Wonderful singles 'Take A Bow' and 'Secret' but a bit weak NON-single material. Among non-single tracks I adore 'Forbidden Love' (should've been a single). 'Survival' and 'Don't Stop' are good though"  Reply

"2 duds and 10 songs that made either Endless Summer (4) or Spirit of America (6). Was this their greatest singles album? Quite possibly. And since this IS America's greatest rock 'n' roll band it must be one of the greatest albums ever, no? Brian's strengths as a tunesmith were in full gear here...."  [+]  Reply

""mass romantic" is one catchy mutha of indie pop. Entire songs sound like one long catchy chorus with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, like the title track headed by the sultry neko case belting out lines like "Now this romantic duel is into the streets, / bon appetit, you've eaten me alive... " Many song..."  [+]  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

"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

"Good album, considered the comeback album by Oasis and it does it well. There some great tunes like Lyla and Let There Be Love that are anthemic and memorable much like past Oasis hits. The Importance of Being Idle is probably one of the best tracks Noel has ever written."  Reply

"There is something quite disconcerting about the cover of this album, it is one of my all time favourite album covers for that very reason, the gloss green, the central water droplet, the text font, the name 'Rubycon' builds the imagination as to what lies within. I am fortunate to own a near min..."  [+]  Reply

"I don’t think words can accurately describe how much I love Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth. His music, his albums, are just flawless. They really are. I have not heard an album of his, and he’s released three and two EPs, that I thought was bad, or even that I thought was mediocre..."  [+]  Reply
