"Evoking dream-pop atmospherics and an undercurrent of psychedelia, Holter expands upon the aesthetics of Julianna Barwick's 'The Magic Place', to create an album that in many ways is not unlike a postmodern amalgam of 'Desertshore', 'Lorca' and 'Rock Bottom'. The sound of piano and harpsicord all..."  [+]  Reply

"A precursor of what was yet to come. This is a very good album and the presence of Neil Peart in the drum stool countered with his lyrical expertise hints to exciting times ahead. Anthem and By Tor set the scene for the classics which will follow"  Reply

"Crazy Rhythms gets all the props but as far as I'm concerned, this is the ultimate Feelies album. It's kind of like the positive version of WL/WH (dig all the healthy positive vibes coming through the insistent massive jamming) and almost as good."  Reply

"This is the album Wilco should've made as the "A Ghost Is Born" 180 degree return to the "Being There" phase. They do everything Wilco did with "Sky Blue Sky", but demonstrate more of a fresher, rootsier perspective. There are elements of funk, rock, bluegrass and punk on this album."  Reply

"And The Glass Handed Kites is a record that works better as a complete album than as a collection of songs. This was recognized by the band, as they created seamless transitions from track to track. The transitions create a structure wherein the songs are movements within the larger framework of ..."  [+]  Reply

"WTF is 'baroque shoegaze' when it's at home? Some phased vocals and effects pedals aside, I've always seen Giant Steps as a 90s White Album, in which a bunch of scousers (namely a guitarist with frizzy hair and a bald geezer) borrow a dog-eared copy of the Great Merseyside Songwriters Handbook fr..."  [+]  Reply

"This is where the first signs of "Quantity over Quality" started to appear in Dream Theater's work. Don't get me wrong - they're still one of my favorite bands - but what keeps them from being -my- favorite is that they don't trim the fat. This album, and most of the succeeding ones - clocks in a..."  [+]  Reply
