"Really liked this album a lot—I've got the American version, not the original Dutch version, so it replaces Suzy Lunacy and Just Like Vince Taylor with the nice long, jazzy tune Big Tree Blue Sea. Anyway, I already knew Radar Love was a classic, but the remaining tracks (Candy's Going Bad, The Va..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the best pop punk albums I've heard in a long time! Ever since they came out with The Dream Is Over, I felt that PUP had the potential to put out something really great. On Morbid Stuff, they definitely live up to that potential. From the energetic riff on "Kids" to the catchy chorus on "S..."  [+]  Reply

"Evoking dream-pop atmospherics and an undercurrent of psychedelia, Holter expands upon the aesthetics of Julianna Barwick's 'The Magic Place', to create an album that in many ways is not unlike a postmodern amalgam of 'Desertshore', 'Lorca' and 'Rock Bottom'. The sound of piano and harpsicord all..."  [+]  Reply

"This is hip hop at its finest. Every song has good vibes, great flows, and catchy hooks with great guest vocals and MCs. Illadelph Halflife is always worth listening through from start to finish, but there are some standout tracks ('Respond - React', 'Episodes', 'Push Up Ya Lighter', 'What They D..."  [+]  Reply

"My favourite of the American albums. Rusty cage and southern accents are both epic but the rest of the album has some other wonderful moment. One of the greatest voices in popular music. He could sing the phone book and make people weep. One of the greatest artists of all time, no matter what the..."  [+]  Reply

"As a teenager in 1979, I wore out my air guitar jamming to this one on headphones in my bedroom. Growing up in Nashville, Cheap Trick came through town once a year and I saw them every year for about 12 years. Have seen them several times off and on and while they're a bit older, they haven't mis..."  [+]  Reply

"Ben Gibbard seems to hate this album, basically saying it was thrown together in a recent interview. (i just think he doesn't connect with what he was feeling at that time anymore.) I think it's that at-the-moment, stream-of-consciousness writing that is the album's greatest asset, right alongsid..."  [+]  Reply
