"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

"More like, surrealistic pillow, after the psychedelic experimentation of, Baxters, it's probably the last great Jefferson Airplane album. Some great tracks, lather, the title track and David Crosby's, triad. Airplane, epitomized that Californian sixties hippy thing that it was never going to work..."  [+]  Reply

"A precurser to Hex from 1980, track for track it more or less equals anything in the Fall's cannon, except for the inevitable token out-there experimental track of WMC Blob 59 which doesn't really serve much purpose. There's wonderful wordplay in English Scheme and New Face In Hell, tales of Hitl..."  [+]  Reply

"Truly Madonna's most underrated album. The themes are consistent and it's a very moody, truthful album. She wasn't afraid of backlash and didn't care about sales, she just wanted to say what was on her mind. But, sadly the album does get a little bit lost in itself. The songs run a little long, i..."  [+]  Reply

"As a fan of Noel and hater of Liam Gallagher, I have to say this album is not that bad. Some songs remind me of Oasis second era, but overall I'm quite surprised. However I still hope Noel to beat this with his next release."  Reply

"I started to get this Willie Nelson meets Phish feeling, and then sometimes a George Harrison and John Lennon sound from the keys, vocals, and guitar. But still just ok."  Reply

"This album is very synth-heavy, vocal-light and compressed. It feels extremely insular. There are effects warping the instrumentals creating a clostrophobic mood with the female lead singer's voice desperately chirping amidst tinny dubstep to be free."  Reply

"I read an iTunes review of this album where someone complained that Leonard Cohen was so old he was just talking through his songs now. What they must not have realized is that Cohen has always done that. In his younger days he sang a little bit, but since the late 70s, he basically talk-sings hi..."  [+]  Reply

"I definitely prefer the sludgier side of Mastodon to their melodic side, but this album has a nice mix of both. Easily their most mainstream release, which in itself makes it kind of unique in their catalog. Curl the Burl easily stands out as my favourite song."  Reply
