"I must admit after half a dozen listens I'm still having problems getting to grips with this. There is hardly anything to latch on to. Every track seems to be at the same pace, same key and Bjork's phrasing is the same on every song. Does she hear anything in her head? Is this all meticulously pr..." [+] Reply

"Why in the world is this album ranked number 108 on THIS YEAR'S list? This album is one of Rush's best, full of challenging instrumental passages, wonderful strings, and some solid melodies on songs like "The Wreckers". Rush haven't been very melodic in the last 15 years, but they seem to be turn..." [+] Reply

"A very chill jazz rap album. I'd never listened to R.A.P. Ferreira (previous went by Milo) before now but this project left me very impressed. If you're looking for energetic bangers, this might not be for you. However, the smooth instrumentation, thought provoking lyrics make this an album worth..." [+] Reply

"This guy man. Look, I'm not arsed about your chin stroking jazz man who can tell me a load of reasons why this ain't the real deal. I only know that he brings the feelings every time and when I saw him live he knocked my sober socks off. At the end of the day, what the fuck more d'yer want?" Reply
