"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 ..."

"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

"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

"Maybe I'm judging too quickly, and I'll fully own up to that if I realise I am, but good god what a let down. Production is fantastic, Lorde's singing is better than ever - but the songwriting is so lifeless. No song finds itself standing out or having anything to say, even though it feels like i..."

"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

"There's not nearly enough love for this, Gedge's finest hour. Less jangly than George Best, less morose than Seamonsters and all the better for it." 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

"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
