"This is an adorable little prog album. Really exciting and somewhat cheesy listen. But it's a sophisticated sort of cheese... Like blue cheese. It's like blue cheese and wine." Reply

"The Faces best album. ANAGAAWTABH, is one of the ultimate party records, full of great sweaty rock'n'roll that is utterly infectious. All the band are on top form with, debris, st. Judy's farm, and off course, stay with me, all brilliant. Sometimes it feels there are two band's here, the Rod Stew..." [+] Reply

"The visceral experience of a live Radiohead gig is impossible to transmit through a recording however, this did a pretty good job of it. The main 2 reasons for this are the outstandingly emotive and haunting renditions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits. Many a time have I laid back on m..." [+] Reply

"My first exposure to Doves was this album. I had heard about The Last Broadcast, but my local record store only had this one in stock. The experience was pretty predictable. Mind-blown. Totally floored. Went online and ordered their discography. I'm always impressed by how many layers they can ca..." [+] Reply

"Maybe I'm judging too quickly, and I'll fully own up to that if I realise I am, but good god what a let down. Production is fantastic, Lorde's singing is better than ever - but the songwriting is so lifeless. No song finds itself standing out or having anything to say, even though it feels like i..."

"The world's first (and only?) metal band that doesn't take itself - not to mention metal music - seriously, but who put writing good songs its top priority. It's funny how most metal heads are surprisingly easy-going and even intellectual people, yet they often listen to music that is as insular ..." [+] Reply
"Strong debut. Extremely samey...the entire album feels like one long, brooding, intimately honest song (a vast majority of these tracks have an extremely similar structure and tempo), but it works. There are a few casualties due to the overarching sound (some of these tracks are very forgettable ..." [+] Reply
