"I first really noticed The Cardigans one day in my car. I found a channel playing a song, which I thought must be a new Sheryl Crow single. I was very surprised when the DJ announced that it was The Cardigans. I don't remember which song it was, but I knew I had to buy one of their CD's to check ..."  [+]  Reply

"The decemberists' "castaways and cutouts" is a literary yarn of sea shanties and seaside romance gone awry full of parapets and petticoats. Literary alt-rock with a unique lyrical P.O.V. (vs all the other alt-rock out there) with songs like "here I dreamt I was an architect" (an architect who "bu..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm finally starting to get this album. Full of different moods caused by electronic sounds, real instruments and a variety of interesting vocal samples. Quite cool album, feels like walking in a subway. Best songs are probably "Burning Wheel" and "Star"."  Reply

"No one is more in the bag for this record. It took To Pimp a Butterfly to beat it for my AOTY the year their debut was released. The Underside of Power does not have the immediacy of Algiers' self-titled, which is really to this record's benefit. There's more room for variety, for atmosphere, for..."  [+]  Reply

"Hmm, would you look at that. User SaulCortes1992 has given the album a 5/100 rating two weeks before the album is released. Looking at his charts, not surprised to see yet another elitist rockist user on here."  Reply

"I listen to hip hop, jazz, rock, electronic, pop, classical, post-punk, trap, RnB, art pop, reggae, metal, whatever, but I don't listen to a lot of punk or grindcore. This appealed to me despite that. Quite a lot of variation in production. And so much justified anger. I'll hear it again and perh..."  [+]  Reply
