"I was a 16-year old camp counselor in training, far from home in a primitive forest. I ran a high fever for two days with a horrific bout of tonsillitis. All I could do was lay on a bunk in a cabin with no air conditioning and listen to my records on headphones, sweating and hallucinating. This w..." [+] Reply

"Bragg paints a wonderfully gloomy and politically desolate picture of 80s Britain, whilst advancing his simple singer-songwriter style excellently. It's an essential piece of political music, that doesn't shy from being brilliantly honest, and delivers itself via the humble charm of Bragg's voice." Reply

"I wasn’t sure how the Red Hot Chili Peppers would sound without John Frusciante. I was sad that he left because he’s a great guitarist and I think he brought something very special to the band. When I heard he left I was disappointed and skeptical of their new album. However thankfully, they prov..." [+] Reply

"This schizofrenic whole is honestly better than the parts. What's great about his style is that he can take any genre and make it sound like a Weeknd track. An enviable skill that a lot of the people he samples wish they could do." Reply

"On Al Final de Este Viaje, Silvio gets rid of the string arrangements of his previous releases which gives this album a more intimate quality and lets his intricate guitar work fully shine." Reply
"Can i quote the last person? It's disappointing with a couple of salvagable songs near the end, "f!@#king problems" and "1train", both coincidentally featuring many guests." Reply

"Darker than the previous DBT albums, Decoration Day benefits from fine songs by Jason Isbell, as well as some different takes on subject matter, from incest to suicide to Southern feuds. Souther rock is alive and well, thank you!" Reply

"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..."

"If Ashes Are Burning is a big warm blanket, Turn of the Cards is an icicle through the heart. Much colder and more darker in tone than its predecessor, but still delivers all the Renaissance classics through Annie Haslam's beautiful voice, John Tout's atmosphere-setting keyboards, and the string ..."
