"It feels almost like a pop album, with its catchy melodies, variable production, and the occasional cringy moment. I don't feel that its as artistically significant as their debut or Meliora, but its so fun it'll probably be the album of theirs I play the most. Best Track: Miasma" Reply
"Another great record by an often misunderstood and derided songstress. She was moving past pretty music into the realm of experimentation. You have to give her credit for that even is you don't understand what she is doing." Reply
"In which the girls, who had been silent in rock for years, get their grunge on. Their 3rd album, Bricks Are Heavy rode the wave of Nirvana with the single "Pretend We're Dead" to stardom. These aren't girls you'd necessarily want to date...they are deadpan and scathing, giving pretty much everyon..." [+] Reply

"On Electr-O-Pura, Yo La Tengo produce what I consider their most consistent and cohesive album to date. Nowhere near as sprawling as their upcoming albums, Electr-O-Pura is a strong and focused alternative rock album unparalleled by many other bands. With highlights too numerous to list, I will i..."

"Certainly not for everyone, but for people who like metal, this is an absolute classic. These are some of the catchiest death metal songs ever written. The riffs are so unique sounding, and the vocals are more high pitched than your typical death metal vocalist, it kind of sounds like a demon is ..." [+] Reply
"Underrated. It's slick, pop-orientated and a great set of songs. A step towards the delicate soundscapes of Tango but retaining some of the raw emotion of Rumours. It has arguably the best harmonies and vocal interplay on any Fleetwood Mac album, which is saying something! I love it. My favourite..." [+] Reply

"an absolutely breathtaking collection of b-sides. God only knows why they didnt release this is an actual full-length album as the majority of the music on this record is just as good if not better than any classic pumpkins a-sides. The opener "soothe" is possibly the most beautiful piece of musi..." [+] Reply

"Absolutely underrated and beautiful. Musically extremely similar to Cocteau Twins, which was intentional, especially since they helped to contribute a couple instrumentals for the album. Faye Wong brings a different flavor to Liz Fraser of the aforementioned group, and I am immediately obsessed w..." [+] Reply

"Black Rebel Motorcycle Club started off playing hard rock influenced by British bands such as Led Zeppelin, but on this their third album the band show other sides of themselves, with several songs similar to those of the young Bob Dylan. The acoustic guitar is the most dominant instrument, which..." [+] Reply
