"This record is the second of a pair that Costello released in 1986, following the largely acoustic King of America. It was also the last album he would record with the Attractions until 1994's Brutal Youth. While I do prefer KoA, this album is still very strong, with some of the most furious perf..."  [+]  Reply

"Really digging Ty’s forays into jazz fusion, just like on last year’s self-entitled album. However I still prefer the latter release. That’s not to say that this one isn’t some high-octane, white knuckle, adrenaline pumping shit too. Because it is! It’s yet another moment of freaky garage brillia..."  [+]  Reply

"I've always thought that when someone (the longer-than-life critics establishment, fans, etc) review and album, the review actually should be written in the context to the album, the band and the music genre. I would never review a hip hop album because I do not like hip hop at all. Well, that's ..."  [+]  Reply

"The songwriting is almost as good as Merriweather. The production is much crisper, and after a few listens the supposed "busyness" melts away, as it does on any other Anco release. I put this in the top 3 of theirs."  Reply

"Good album by Beck, it starts off really strong but kinda dips in quality towards the last 5 tracks (the No Complaints through Motorcade run is particularly a step down in quality compared to the tracks before them). Still, it's a solid record and it has one of my favorite songs by Beck (Soldier ..."  [+]  Reply

"To me, Daisy is the best Brand New album. One may argue that it is because of my slight bias towards post-hardcore over emo, but after listening to Deja Entendu, TDAGARIM and Daisy many times I've come to the conclusion that this album is the best. Deja Entendu, to begin with, completely blew You..."  [+]  Reply

"Yeah, they still sound like Pavement but they also remind me of The Modern Lovers and they're really good at copying Lou Reed's ostrich guitar by way of 'The Black Angel's Death Song'. Saying all that, Human Performance is the type of indie album you thought they'd forgotten to make with tunes ap..."  [+]  Reply

"I love Saint Etienne: their melodicism, accessibility, danceability, cleverness, cool passion and taste. And their impeccable album discography starts with this classy debut."  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
