"My favourite Maiden album since Bruce and Adrian’s return. ‘Paschendale’ is one of the greatest songs they have ever created. ‘No More Lies’, the title track, the underrated ‘Montsegur’, the punchy ‘Wildest Dreams’, the catchy ‘Rainmaker’ are all excellent songs. Some dismiss this album because o..." [+] Reply

"Really the first significant blemish on his career. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the whole thing, but mostly I'm not. The horns are just so out of place, and overall it's too glossy - Costello would do this sort of sound better on albums such as 1989's Spike. Overall, it's essential listening al..." [+] Reply

"Dark Matter sees Pearl Jam rekindle energy that most fans were starting to doubt they could offer. The band hasn’t sounded this focused since the turn of the century and is their best effort since the greatly under-appreciated Binaural. Dark Matter sounds like what you would expect from a Pearl J..." [+] Reply
"Miguel said that he wanted to change the face of R&B, and if that means going back to 90s R&B then I'm all for it. Outside of one semi-joke track, there's not as many Playstation drops, John Mayer licks, or other toys that you find on Planet Orange but I think that helps the album rather than hin..." [+] Reply

"One of the more 'acoustic' sounding affairs which quite rightly befits the album title. More folky than the progressive leanings of Thicks As A Brick and Aqualung. A fine album. Baker St Muse is the standout track for me, this has a more 'progressive' feel to it." 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

"I go the contrary direction on this album. After the dark and overproduced Time, this was a somewhat fun little breath of fresh air. In general, I appreciate the heaver, more serious albums, but in this case, this little diversion hits the spot." Reply

"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
"Unlike recent embarrassing releases from legacy acts who I wont name (Green Day - Weezer - Muse) Suede are aging gracefully with energy, cool, something to say and most of all RELEVANCY here on ‘Autofiction’ God bless Brett Anderson Bernard Butler who ?" Reply
