"Supergrass gets more complex, more groovy, more funky... and more inconsistent. A little more cohesiveness would make this an amazing album. Instead, it's just really good." Reply

"The Kinks' classic 1965 album "The Kink Kontroversy" has now also been released in a deluxe edition. The original mono album comprises CD 1 while CD 2 is an exciting mix of singles, demos, outtakes and BBC liverecordings. The original album ought not require a detailed presentation, one can only ..." [+] Reply

"AC/DC meets Lynyrd Skynyrd in this wonderfully ambitious set. It's an excellent concept album loosely based on Skynyrd and the southern states of America in general. It's a fun record with some fantastic songs including, Ronnie and Neil, let there be rock(no, not that one), and the enthralling, t..." [+] Reply

Subsequent releases are seriously lacking in any sort of personality, which Don Van Vliet had become known for. Clear Spot has some instances of him yo..." [+] Reply

"This album just pulls on my heartstrings. I don't care if it's full of music cliches...it's just so well executed and it invokes strong emotions in me, so it's one of my favorite albums at the moment. Emotional, passionate, well crafted, legendary." Reply

"The overall theme of the “Laurel Hell” seems to be emotional vulnerability. Mitski sings about expectations, not feeling loved, and anxiety fairly earnestly. “Stay Soft” embraces the topic best with its scared but very affirming discussion of sex. A limitation is many of the songs feel underwritt..." [+] Reply

"Cartola's 2nd record is his masterpiece, with 3 of his greatest classics, "Preciso me Encontrar", "O Mundo É um Moinho" and "As Rosas Não Falam". Very romantic, poetic, melodic and melancholic old-fashioned samba, the kind you can't find anymore, because is not commercial or party-oriented. The l..." [+] Reply
