"Will Oldham should really have changed his moniker again for this one. Because he's all grown up. This is no longer Will channeling a Bonnie "Prince" Billie to sing about the darkest recesses of his soul. This is just Will. Producing some of the best mature country & indie rock songs about love a..." [+] Reply

"Although I loved the predecessor to this album, The Lion's Roar, particularly the song "Emmylou," which is in my pantheon of best-written songs ever, I nevertheless had my doubts about the staying power of First Aid Kit. I needn't have worried, though, as this follow-up cemented their place as on..." [+] Reply

"On first listen, this sounded like a feist album. This is quite unlike any cat power album i remember. Previously, she used to languish in introspection over organic alt/folk/rock. She's uptempo and beat-driven with chorus hooks aplenty throughout the album that is more slickly produced than usua..." [+] Reply

"This is an album that truly should be on any list of albums you must hear before you die. Love it or hate it it is a unique experience that must be heard to be believed. Personally I had a smile on my face (when I wasn't outright laughing out loud) for 30 odd minutes, so I must think of this as a..." [+] Reply

"Very clever, quality production, often fun to listen to, but in 2013, isn't it time to move past the word "fag"?" Reply

"A winding record filled with some of Alex's most twisted experiments alongside his most triumphant songs. Just as quirky as his past output, House of Sugar features tacky synth sounds, odd pitched vocals, and strange circular melodies mixed with straightforward acoustic ballads and passages of sl..."

"Masterpiece of soundscape, to say the least. The guitar tone is an art in and of itself. The lyrics are hauntingly deep, even though the delivery comes across somewhat silly at points. The choir on Big Church is so damn good, All around this album is consistent and cohesive, which just makes it e..." [+] Reply

"Bold, witty and on the nose, Rosenstock’s epic latest offering ‘HELLMODE’ spans the human range of emotions, from raging to tender, and is genuinely funny at times, despite the deadly serious subject matter." Reply

"Second album from the Stranglers, no more heroes, is another superb record. Great sneering and sarcastic songs from Hugh Cornwell and co. I feel like a wog, something better change, and the superb title track are a few of the standouts. The Stranglers were great at this point." Reply
