"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 . ..."

"This is a fantastic album and I urge anybody that has not listened to it yet to give it a spin." 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

""This is a largely melody-based album- Its purpose is to find its way into your brain and stick there. There are piano hooks, lush vocal harmonies, and easily-clappable drum beats. There are cheesy lyrics, dated 70s moments, and clean production. Here on BEA we typically see those aspects as detr..." [+] 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
