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

"I absolutely love this album It's early days yet but at the moment this is my favourite album by the rhcp Time will tell whether it's a laster but this has not been off my iPod since it was released about a month ago It has the same laid back feel like "by the way" - which up to about a week ago ..."
