"Where do I even start with this album? It represents such a massive shift in the sound of Lenker, the beginning of the band that would come to be her most well-known musical outlet, it indicates a distinct leveling-up in the power of her songwriting, and this is the first time I have heard that i..."

"It's hard not to hold Thom to a higher standard since his past works have been so significant, but this album just isn't changing the game the way he used to. It was exciting each time Radiohead changed their sound, but now Thom seems to have developed an affection for this cold, distant, sterile..." [+] Reply

"I find it difficult to make an objective judgement on this album as Dear Science is one of my favourite albums and this album suffers in comparison as it is very similar. The songs are still very good but it feels like shaking hands with Bobby Kennedy whilst secrertly wishing it was JFK. There is..." [+] Reply

"An absolute masterpiece of mediterranean? music. An orgy of sounds, instruments, vocals (genoa dialectal)and genius. Fabrizio De André ¡what name! is a fabulous singer-songwriter but here is beyond any label or way at his best. (Also a favorite of Wim Wenders)." Reply
"The jayhawks "rainy day music" is an extension of what they put out on "smile" with maybe a more adult-contemporary slant, watering down the country to the point of near-invisibility. Hits include "stumbling through the dark", the ultra-catchy "tailspin", "tampa to tulsa" and "save it for a rainy..." [+] Reply

"Brainwashed was to be George Harrison's last album. He was working on it till close to his death in November 2001. It was finished and co-priduced by friend and producer Jeff Lynne, and the sound is quite similar to their previous collaborations in the Travelling Wilburys and George`s "Cloud Nine..." [+] Reply

"No. 1 in Heaven, Sparks's transition into synthesizer based music, is quite the graceful shift in style. Glam rock isn't quite that much different than synthpop, which is lucky for them. Though the songwriting suffers a bit, the almost title track (The Number One Song in Heaven) makes up for it. ..." [+] Reply

"Probably the least heralded of all the... "The" garage-rock bands that dominated the alternative charts in the early 2000s, they were the most straight-forward and most beholden to their influences (mainly the 80s american underground and grunge), but they had a decent enough sound and plenty of ..."

"If you like Joanna Newsom and/or Kate Bush check out Loreena McKennitt. Three albums which I would rate at 90 (or better) are The Visit (1991), The Mask and the Mirror (1994) and The Book of Secrets (1997)." Reply
