"PHENOMENAL. Great album, builds more upon his Debut record rather than 2013's "Overgrown", and that was certainly the best move. My favorite release of this year thus far, hands down! As of May 7th." Reply

"Day for Night was the album the Tragically Hip had long attempted produce. Hints from previous albums including the pacing and cohesiveness of Road Apples with the exceptional songwriting of Fully Completely come together here as the band's masterpiece. In addition to the retrospective approach, ..." [+] Reply

""New Miserable Experience" is an alt-pop gem borrowing from big star, and is near-perfect in its effortless alt-poppy-ness. Almost every track sounds like a hit. This is another album that closes with a pseudo-alt-country song at the end called "cheatin'" which has the fun line "you can't call it..." [+] Reply

"I think that this was one of the definitive albums of the 00's. Jet's "Get Born" was possibly one of the safest Rock 'n Roll phenomenon's of all time. I mean, c'mon, what's safer than an Australian ACDC/Iggy Pop/Supremes hybrid ? I prefer it to any album that The White Stripes, The Strokes, The V..." [+] Reply

"One of the most important albums of American music ever made. Woody is the great American trubador and "Dust Bowl Ballads" is a kind a musical narrative of the Great Depression that is the equal to Stienbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" for gritty realism. Woody's influence on the music Bob Dylan, the Byr..." [+] Reply
"Very good new-age/ambient house/downtempo/synthpop chillout album. I can't rate it based on rating single tracks. This album is an interrelated artwork. Overall very good 90/100. I recommend the Limited Edition including 4 additional remixes. Favourite!" Reply

"Personally I reckon Chemical Beats is the only duff track on the album. There is no better soundtrack for staggering home at 4/5am after leaving a club than One Too Many Mornings. This album has aged really well - hard to believe it's nearly 20 years old. Where did that time go?" Reply
