"What characterises Arctic Monkeys as a great band and not just a good band in my opinion is the genius of Alex Turner's lyricism. This album may not have the same blinding wit as their first nor the poetic abstract imagery of their third but that's not to say this album has its own moments of bri..." [+] Reply

"I think it's a kind of silly to suggest that people/critics are 'overhyping' this album because they are wary of underrating it like they may of done with Pure Heroine. I believe it's more to do with Pure Heroine being a slowburner; I remember not being very keen the first 5 or even 6 listens but..." [+] Reply

"'Hardcore Nick Drake fan' are we? Not a chance if you don't like Bryter Layter. True, there's no unaccompanied tracks on this unlike Nick's other LPs, but to call the album 'overproduced' is ridiculous. Robert Kirby's string arrangements are sublime, especially for the 3 instrumentals (all of whi..." [+] Reply

"Great band cutting loose, recorded badly but what can you do. Even if you're sick of the title song, the first three sides are great for just hearing Clapton and Jim Gordon and all these guys doing their thing. Bobby Whitlock, of course, is the piano player and second singer on this album. If you..." [+] Reply

"It's a stoner rock album, it's a psychedelic rock album, it's a progressive rock album, it's a heavy metal album, and it's an effing trippy album. All the performers are playing their instruments to the highest point anyone can play them. There is not a single flaw all across the 35 minutes of in..." [+] Reply

"Slightly underrated since it's not iconic as Hunky Dory or Ziggy and not innovative as Station to Station or Low, but still a great David Bowie album. It follows the glam rock sound of Ziggy but with a more "americanized" sound and themes. Instumentally possibly Bowie's best, with incredible guit..." [+] Reply
