"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

"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

"A highly intimate album in which Sting lets go a little the virtuoso playing to tell a story and give it the space it deserves. To be listened to attentively. This one is not a party album. it is to be taken in more as you would take in a great movie or book."  Reply

"The first half is brilliant, unfortunately the second half is a big drop-off. My highlights are Mr Writer, Have A Nice Day, Vegas Two Times and Step On My Old Size Nines. Weakest tracks - Caravan Holiday, Rooftop and Everyday I Think Of Money. The 2002 re-issue contains their brilliant cover of H..."  [+]  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

"Lately, The Flaming Lips have entered a very experimental stage of their career. They’ve always been fairly experimental and odd in their music, but lately they’ve been going in a very different direction from some of their earlier albums like “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and “The Soft Bulle..."  [+]  Reply
