"Bit too basic for my tastes - Hard Times, Wake Up and 30 Days aren't particularly impressive showcases of rapping or beats. There are some highlights though, Rock Box has some pretty great guitar work to compliment the energetic vocals, and Jay's Game is a classic example of 80's turntablism."  Reply

"Now this album, is underated. Common guys, this is a phenomenal album. It shows the mature form of The Maccabees, compared with their previous albums. As you can perceive many influences, it's definitely not a mono-tone album. Go, Pelican, Ayla, Feel to follow, Forever I've Known, Heave... a grea..."  [+]  Reply

"Some are aware of Mann's soundtrack to "Magnolia." This is the album those songs (mostly) came from. It's one of the darkest, most tuneful things you'll ever hear -- as if Joni Mitchell went pop, slick, and sarcastic. The first few listenings may leave you wondering why you bought it . ..."  [+]  Reply

"Lanegan has one of greatest rock voices of all times, and he uses it at his best on this album. A blast from beginning till end, and another great duet (this time with PJ Harvey). Would trade this album for the entire top 20 of 2004, apart from the Arcade Fire and Nick Cave albums."  Reply

"Live-Evil consists of four long jams recorded live, with four nice short moody tracks, recorded in studio, in between. A small negative for me would be that the long tracks sound very much alike. If someone played a small snippet of one of the four pieces and asked me which one it is, I would hav..."  [+]  Reply

"An eclectic mix of musical genres (world music, free jazz, reggae/dub) performed on an eclectic mix of odd instruments, including traditional African and Asian percussion instruments. Very experimental music, but it's not entirely avant-garde as there is some structure to the songs provided by th..."  [+]  Reply
