"A real throwback to the pre-rock era. The whole thing is just the trio of piano bass and drums. Filled with beautiful and tasteful playing." Reply
"I was surprised about the brevity of this third album. Generally I like succinct albums that are compact, consistent, and, as short as they are, justify their scope and form. Everything from "Pink Moon" to "You're Nothing" and "Is This It?" have benefited from their short 37- min runtimes, while ..." [+] Reply

"I don't typically love garage rock, but Dinosaur, Jr. has landed something really fun and energetic here, a grand, chugging album that doesn't let up until the very end." Reply

"Not mind blowing, nothing really new, but still a solid contribution to their discography. Not sure what else they can do at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sounds like their older stoner rock blended with Villains, in a good way. Songwriting and musicianship are as tight as ever, especially live. The album..." [+] Reply

"I had to take a shower to get off all the ironically happy vibes. The lyrics are sub-par, the music is annoying, and the cover gives me a headache. Probably the worst album I went out of my way to listen to from 2010." Reply

"Chuck Berry didn't really make any great albums; not his fault, they were singles artists in that era. Of course he may be the greatest singles artist EVER, so why not give he and the others (Elvis, Buddy, Little, etc.) the opportunity to appear on a list like this. I don't usually consider comps..."

"REM's 12th album, and second without Bill Berry. It's a much warmer album than it's predecessor, up. In fact, you could probably call it REM's summer album. It was preceded by the single, imitation of life, which is ok, but it's a bit throwaway by REM standards, and feels a little out of place on..." [+] Reply

"These guys seem like a record company concoction to sell hip pop music to indie kids. i know it, best buy knows it, so they should just admit it. Knowing this, the songs still work. Commercial jingle "flathead", "chelsea dagger" and "baby fratelli" are just too much fun in an INXS kick/x way not ..." [+] Reply
