"I’m glad Imagine Dragons is all over the radio. They are exactly what the radio needs right now. The thing I think I love most about this Las Vegas-based band is how they have such a great pop sensibility (read as: catchy songs) without ever sounding too trite or obnoxious. They consistently soun..."  [+]  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

"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

""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

"My favourite of this year's set of 80s style throwback albums. The modern twist on 80s disco aesthetics is so intoxicating, especially on some of the longer cuts on the regular album and the extended versions on the deluxe edition. The vocals are mixed in pretty much perfectly to flow with the re..."  [+]  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
