"Los Hermanos in their best moment. Not a single bad song in here." Reply
"Where has this been all my life? This is an album that is worth it for the first track alone. “Bloodletting” is a bluesy voodoo groove that sets the tone for this album perfectly. The sinister groove within this song makes its way through the remainder of the album, coloring everything in its den..." [+] Reply
"If this record would have been released by anyone else but David Bowie it would get more respect. I admit it is a little long and some of the tracks could have been eliminated. You can't help but compare it to his classic albums but hey it's better than anything the Stones have released in the la..." [+] Reply

"Really don't think there's much more to add as people below have really summarised it so well. Like all great movies, the soundtrack to Fellowship isn't just an addition to what's on screen, it viscerally conveys the emotions and themes and sheer scale of what plays out. It's one of my favourite ..." [+] Reply

"Beautiful pure simple pop with a Scandi twist!" Reply
"Yes! This is an awesome album. I can’t believe the average to middle grade reviews Coulors is receiving. It’s fun , light and a blast wire to wire . Yes I LOVE Morning Phase and NO I’m not a Beck fan boy , what we have here are 2 vastly different albums back to back and both are great . Is Colors..." [+] Reply

"José González is a Swedish singer-songwriter who, like Nick Drake, became known for his guitar and classical vocals. On this relaxing album, José González focuses on themes such as perseverance. The album is really inspired by Nick Drake, the singer alone with his guitar forcing a personality. Th..." [+] Reply

"It took several listens to come to this conclusion, but this is Of Montreal's second-best album, after "Hissing Fauna". The hyperpersonal freak-out era is over and the band is making accessible music again, albeit with their own perverse sensibilities and a dash of '60s jangle pop." Reply
"Its a really solid album through and through. It just sounds much much more assured and beautiful than his debut a year before. The songs are consistently gorgeous and topical yet timeless. In songs like "That's What I Want To Hear" its amazing cuz the concerns aren't dated at all. And his tribut..." [+] Reply
