"Feist’s sweet and sultry singing holds together this set of eclectic songs as they vary from peppy to moody to soulful to (almost) disco. The album flows smoothly from one sound to the next; Feist incorporates organs on one track, horns and finger-snapping on the next, guitars on the next, but al..." [+] Reply

"One of the forgotten masterpieces of the 1970s. Fay's songwriting here is on par with the likes of contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon. The influence it has had on Wilco is impossible to overlook." Reply

"This is more than a gorgeous collection of wonderful choruses, this is vaudeville in the post-punk era, this is The Residents in the world of alternative pop, cabaret songs for demential grotesque cartoons. These dynamic, crazy, irreverent music pills have nothing to envy to underground rock hero..." [+] Reply

"Explosions In The Sky have found a formula and they stick to it here, but when the formula is just so good why would you change it up? As per other releases the guitars sound so comforting and so pure. The crescendos sound so triumphant and so inspiring. This album transports you to a world of pe..." [+] Reply

"No line on the horizon, is U2 getting back to their more arty groove, it's a much more challenging record than most of their Other albums, and is all the better for it. The title track kicks off the LP, sounding nothing like they've ever sounded before. Magnificent, is more traditional U2, and is..." [+] Reply

"Sounding organic and alive this is a thoroughly impressive debut. Conjuring recollections of the paisley-soaked '60s and the lush sounds of '70s soul, all distilled through the multicultural flowering of the late '80s. Much like Prince, he plays nearly every instrument on the record, making this ..." [+] Reply

"A pretty good rollicking hard rock debut. Strutter is excellent, Nothin' to Lose and Deuce are very strong. The inclusion of Love Theme from Kiss remains a mystery as it almost kills the album with two tracks to go." Reply

"In my opinion, nighthawks at the diner, is the album where Tom Waits finds his true voice. There were hints on, closing time, and, the heart of Saturday night, was almost there, but now Waits sounds like Waits, the croak and the slur, are there now in their fully formed state. The album itself, i..." [+] Reply
