"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..."  [+]  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

"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

"I like this album very much. What I like the most is its "bluesy" sound and the lyrics of the songs. I find extremely interesting the voice of Ney Matogrosso, because he is actually a man, but I was convinced the first 10 times I heard the record that the singer was a woman. Very unusual voice in..."  [+]  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

"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

"Unless your name is Marley, your chances of having a well known reggae album in the US are slim and none. Which is too bad, because Culture was one of the best reggae bands you'd ever hear. Two Sevens Clash was born as a vision by singer Joseph Hill, predicting that the date 7/7/77 would be a hol..."  [+]  Reply
