"Though not their strongest effort, I'll like most anything that Built to Spill does. It's a solid effort that shows that they have an admirably consistent discography, maybe to a fault at times. Still, this remains a fine album." Reply

"There is no way that 'The Final Cut' should sit above this album, or 'Pulse' for that matter as the latter is a compilation! This album doesn't get the credit it deserves, it is a very psychedelic offering and dishes up some real classics, 'The Nile Song' and 'Ibiza Bar' being two of them, not to..." [+] Reply

"Seventh Tree is perfect for early autumn, when the animals are still around but the leaves are starting to fall. Warm, fleeting folktronica soundscapes form a pastoral backdrop to art pop lyrics that primarily deal with the strangeness of humans and the many methods of achieving temporary happine..." [+] Reply

"Came to Geese first, so I expected more of the same. Instead, I got one of the lovelier records I've heard in a minute. Gentle, funny, insightful stuff here." Reply

"This time around they come with crisper production and a few heightened gimmicks. Fortunately for them, all the gimmicks work, starting with the title track, "I and love and you", the love-song-by-addition which reflects the popular i-heart-NY t-shirt directed specifically at brooklyn. It's the b..." [+] Reply

"Each song sounds like 2-to-3-or-more choruses are packed in. The title track kicks off proclaiming "The sound of God is the screech of tires, lights and magnets, bolts and wires, strayed from the road" with a chorus that states god is "streaming out of the magnets". Then next song: "So can you te..." [+] Reply

"Still need to think about this a little longer but yeah, I feel like this might be a 10. It's literally perfect from beginning to end. The production was spotless, not a single song was too long, and Mos's rhymes were just on another level. Music is supposed to move you right? Well this shit sent..." [+] Reply

"No More Tears came as a bit of surprise. While there is no disputing the power of the first two Ozzy solo albums, Bark at the Moon and the Ultimate Sin were relatively mediocre albums compared to Ozzy's previous work (though No Rest For the Wicked, the album that came before No More Tears is unde..."
