"The Kills don't like the description of Garage Rock, but I think it's a fitting description. They're kind of like The White Stripes, but the vocals are female (Alison Mosshart aka VV) rather than male, and the male half of the duo, Jamie Hince (aka Hotel) plays all of the instruments. Favorite so..." [+] Reply

"This is a perfectly okay album, but Olsen has lost any x-factor I thought she once had. I'd rather listen to 70s country classics than this project – because that's literally what this album is emulating, just with gay themes and ill-fittingly clean production. Olsen is able to make the genre shi..." [+] Reply

"Book of Brilliant Things, Waterfront and Up on the Catwalk are all excellent tracks but there are some more forgettable tracks on this release compared with New Gold Dream and Once Upon a Time. I still class this one a part of the 80's trilogy of Simple Minds at their most creative." Reply

"wow, this would've smashed the charts in the 90s and maybe early 2000s. lyrically sophie takes us to the strange mess of her mind, and it's not easy to swallow, to be honest. sometimes it hurts, how true it is and how one can relate. but somehow it's not a fully depressing album, because you hear..."

"A solid contender for Pop AOTY. The production is definitely the highlight, but the singer's voice is good too. So versatile and malleable with every song. This is very interesting stuff, im excited to see what more this band/collective comes up with. That baby sneeze bit in Nobody Cares gets me ..." [+] Reply

"How do you critique in album that lives so far outside of expectations? One that shows clear reckless abandon for what the listener might want at any given moment? No Now effortlessly blends those all too familiar 90s boy band hooks into glitchy, dense, abysmally dark electronic music. The human ..." [+] Reply
"Nujabes is a Japanese producer who is a jazz rap genius and the main pioneer of the lo-fi movement in hip-hop. Nujabes is one of the producers who has most influenced the rap scene in the 2000s. All these albums are excellents but my favorite remains "Metaphorical Music". "Metaphorical music", th..." [+] Reply
"I only recently rediscovered this and realized that this was likely the first album that I fell in love with as a full product. Gaga's truly had it together since day one. Even on top of the nostalgia value, all the songs still hold up." Reply

"If you want shoegaze that'll make your balls drop. this is it/ Although many prefer Ferment. let's not forget this one/ It's more metallic but still sounds like shoegaze and it's mind-blowingly awesome. It's a must-listen." Reply
