"My favorite Lizzy album. It's not completely perfect, but I can't help but absolutely love it. Lynott's personality has never been better, and that goes along with the fantastic songwriting and instrumental work. Best track - Either "Bad Reputation", "Opium Trail", or "Killer Without a Cause"."  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

"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

"Contemplative, atmospheric and even haunting at times. It's really hard for me to find the words to describe this album. Definitely my favorite release of this year so far. Favorite tracks: Crimson Tide, It Just Doesn't Happen, foolssong, Cue Synthesizer"  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

"I stumbled upon this album and I'm so glad I did as it is fantastic. Fans of arena rock and guitar shredding in general owe it to themselves to find this album. You are already a fan of Michael Scheneker and you just don't know it yet. I have no idea why he and this band aren't more well known in..."  [+]  Reply

"Are we really blowing a load every time we hear a string section? I've grown to enjoy her as a personality and, well, as much as I really want to like her music I don't think I've come across an output that have felt so underwhelming compared to the hype and praise that's been heaped upon it.

"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

Different song structures, many surprising beat changes, great production, amazing vocals, some amount of experimentation of sound and exp..."  [+]  Reply
