"(Clairo gets in a spacious, calming, introspective groove with this album and sticks the landing. A beautiful, laid-back, Singer/Songwriter album with some cool folk/pop rock, Baroque/Chamber pop elements. The tracklist never veers far from that feeling of contemplative melancholy mixed with opti..." [+] 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

"Explosions In The Sky have found a formula and they stick to it here, but when the formula is just so good why would you change it up? As per other releases the guitars sound so comforting and so pure. The crescendos sound so triumphant and so inspiring. This album transports you to a world of pe..." [+] Reply

"The music is witty, poppy and danceable. Hot chip bring their own style with these immediately-infectious tunes. i had a good inclination this new album would blow that one away upon hearing lead single "ready for the floor", which just builds with brilliance. "one pure thought" was my other top ..." [+] Reply

"Recently I was part of a conversation with some friends about the career trajectory of Buffalo Tom. Among my friends in college, it was undisputed conventional wisdom at the time that Buffalo Tom's first two albums, their self-titled debut and Birdbrain, are alternative-rock classics. The album w..." [+] Reply

"Unquestionably the best introduction to live Phish that any non-fan could hope to receive from a hyper obsessed fan, A Live One has got a little bit of everything: Songy songs, wacky vocal jams, wild jams, and a 30-fucking-minute Tweezer." Reply

"First half is pretty corny IMO. I get that Joey didn't want his message to get lost in translation but I feel like I'm getting beat over the head. Lyrically the second half is a lot better but the production is lacking compared to the first half. I wish Joey mixed his modern sound with his 90s so..." [+] Reply

"The first thing to understand about this album is it really isn’t a “Perfume Genius album” as we we’ve come to know and love in the frame of fully accessible shimmering pop treats and more of a Mike Hadreas solo album. Secondly ‘Ugly Season’ is the soundtrack to a dance / performance piece Hadrea..." [+] 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

"I thought this album, like many Kent's, would be played out of my mind, as I played it manymany times and for specific reasons, not there now. But no, it stays, it's not broken, forgotten or disliked. I still care." Reply
