"gotta ignore the fact that this is a my chemical romance album and just accept it for what it is: a shit load of fun. they've turned their vintage emo/pop-punk sound on it's head and opted for a far more basic rock and synth-pop sound that is surprisingly pulled-off well, chuck it a listen and yo..."  [+]  Reply

"A great party record. A great sex record. A great record for long as hell drives. Kaytranada doesn't go out of his way to give us a Moon Safari or Discovery, but anyone could care. It's still one of the most effortlessly enjoyable listens of the decade."  Reply

"This is my favourite of the early beach boys albums, at least up until the, today album. They've really found their feet, and seem to know exactly what they're doing. The album opens with the absolutely beautiful title track. Stunning. Catch a wave, is a giddy hoot. Surfer moon, is another nice o..."  [+]  Reply

"I really didn't like this at first. The music was great but Antony's voice made me cringe. Well, this album grew on me more with each listen. Follow-up: I have now also listened to I Am a Bird Now. All I can say is WOW!"  Reply

"Fantastic album. Incredible songwriting. In fact, these guys were so good that Bill Wyman (he appears on "Love Gangster") was ready to leave the Stones to join them. This one ranks in my top ten double albums. Yes, it's that good! Fave tracks: So Begins The Task Johnny's Garden Move Around It Doe..."  [+]  Reply

"This album starts off on a stunning high with the opener “Always Together With You”. This encapsulates everything fantastic about this band. It’s comforting, spacious and soothing, while sounding triumphant and proud at the same time. This is followed by the rocking “Best Thing You ‘ve Never Had"..."  [+]  Reply

"Nothing but the greatest country album AND the greatest acoustic singer/songwriter album in the same package. Includes the classic Me and Bobby McGee of course, but another four or five lesser known tracks are just as brilliant, To Beat the Devil being the foremost. If you don't like Kris Kristof..."  [+]  Reply
