"I may be overrating this album, to rate an album a 100 after only one listen is nuts, but this could become one of my favorite albums of all time. Really, this is as "real" as music gets nowadays. This albums reminds of Warsaw, Sonic Youth and something else, which I can not define. This might be..." [+] 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

"Not that they had a ton of albums, but this one is the most underrated. They're at the top of their synth-pop game, with danceable beats and snarks on love all-around. Pretty dark in mood and lyrics but all songs are still up-tempo" Reply

"The reigning garage rock king does it again. Certainly his most polished effort, but that doesn't mean it has become urbane. Just as frenetic and down right dirty as ever. I could listen to his fat fuzz all day." 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

"Having never heard any of his music, I quite enjoyed this. It's a throwback to 90s/early 2000s music to my ears. The production is pretty loud, so there's not a whole lot of dynamics in the songs, but it's fun stuff. The second half is better, and the best songs are TV Stars, and 9/10. A nice alb..." [+] 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

"It is one of those albums you can tell will initially be underwhelming especially after the busy pop heavy Little Dark Age. This album is not a head bopper. It is much more minimalist but that doesn’t take away from some of the beautiful melodies and soundscapes you are used to with MGMT. The alb..." [+] Reply

"The second half of this album is a bit weaker, but this is possibly the greatest piece of art that Lady Gaga has ever produced. And this site has criminally under rated LG and other adjacent pop artists for decades and it is time for all of you boomers to realize that pop music in 2025 is far bet..." [+] Reply

"This is a really good album by far her best up to this point all the uptempo tracks come one after the other followed by the slower tracks at the end of the album. It runs very smoothly best tracks for me are If, Throb, That's the Way Love Goes & all the slower tacks at the end. A great RnB album..." [+] Reply
