"I enjoyed this album a lot. It may be not as good as Loveless or Ride's Nowhere, but it's a very good shoegazing record. It's a consistent album, there is not a low point here, it's energetic, fun and dreamy at the same time. It's recommended to any shoegazing fans. My track picks are: 'I Want to..." [+] Reply

"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
"Their classic album and brilliant introduction to the warped perfectionism of Lawrence Felt. As well as All the People I Like Are Those That Are Dead, A Wave Crashed on Rocks, and Hours of Darkness Have Changed My Mind are highlights." 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

"Looking to discover some great music from 2001 I checked out ‘ Comfort Eagle’ and was pleasantly surprised... this album goes alright. So Short Skirt Long Jacket is the obvious reference point here but it’s far from the best thing here with ‘ Commissioning A Symphony In C ‘ and ‘ Comfort Eagle ‘ ..." [+] Reply

"All songs are a real sound experience. My favorites are: State of the Art andSomebody that I Used To Know. In your light and I feel better are the weakest songs on the album, but they are fine too." 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

"Jazz, soul, funk, disco, electronics. Fusion. All this merges and solidifies along what is probably the most ambitious project of Thundercat. Bass lines take you on a journey of rhythms ranging from dizzying extroversion to dark zigzagging. The Stoic title suggests a work thought under the improv..." [+] Reply

"I very much enjoyed this one. Has something running through it. Playful, stormy, lauching from one thing into another. Sounds like an album for a special time and place. Album cover works greatly with the sound too." Reply
