"If it weren't for this website I never would've discovered this gem! A folk opera sounded really cheesy to me, to be honest, but since I love Tommy, I thought it would be interesting. A shocker. In my opinion this is better then Tommy, better then Quadrophenia and.... dare I say it?... better the..."  [+]  Reply

"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

"68/100 Globally disappointed by this second project, besides the effort to make their formula evolve, 100 gecs gets lost little by little in already common sounds and their weirdness doesn't manage to be as percussive.I'm not sure that this album will have the impact of the last one. Moreover thi..."  [+]  Reply

"This album proves for me that even the music community is not purely deterministic; the truly great music will not always rise to the top. This album was initially met with either unnaturally high ratings or quite low ones. I saw on Metacritic that NME (but, seriously, screw NME) called it "Toe-c..."  [+]  Reply

"I know this album has left a bad taste for a lot of long time fans and it’s by no means his best album I personally really enjoy the new direction. I love the jazzy roaring 20s kind of vibe. I feel like this album had a lot of potential but came out half baked. Not great but an interesting new so..."  [+]  Reply

"First of all boys, nothing like this LP was ever released by Decca in the UK. It is a mish-mash of an EP, Singles, a UK B-side, and random album tracks put together this way only because of the greed of London Records. An album was supposed to be released that contained only tracks recorded at th..."  [+]  Reply

"It feels like spitting in my idols' face, but this album was just alright for me. Look, when musicians age, they either age gracefully, letting their work age gracefully with them (see: Bob Dylan, Paul Simon) or they keep making albums hoping that maybe the fact that their music sort of sounds si..."  [+]  Reply

"Come on, what on earth is the point of clogging up these comment sections with a copy paste of the album's tracklist? With or without your personal rating of each song, it just goes against the design of the website."  Reply
