"Two years after disbanding Pavement, Stephen Malkmus was back, releasing his solo debut. The quality isn't any dropoff from Pavement either, and it sounds like he's got his creative juices flowing, moreso than on the last couple Pavement releases. Check out the lead track "Black Book" and my favo..."  [+]  Reply

"The slower and more experimental tracks on here are the highlights and some of IDLES best cuts yet. Although it lacks the punch of past projects this still is quite enjoyable."  Reply

"This album may be Brockhampton's most focused album to date but that doesn't make it their best or even good necessarily. Like on previous projects different members stick out in different ways than they have before. In my opinion, Bearface and Kevin continue to be the best to feature vocals in t..."  [+]  Reply

"After the two out-of-nowhere supernovas that were his first two (brief) albums, he settles down here for a slightly more relaxed, somber record- but still just as witty and never with a wasted moment. The sunday-morning hangover record is probably the best way to describe it, or perhaps coming ho..."  [+]  Reply

"After the disappointing Cyclone album (in comparison to previous work) Tangerine Dream pulled out all the stops with this album, thankfully losing the vocals. I have a near mint copy on vinyl and it sounds superb on a decent audio system. I hear things on the vinyl I don't hear on my CD version. ..."  [+]  Reply

"The lightning quick follow up to their self titled debut album, Kinda kinks, picks up where that record left off. The LP features ten originals and two poor cover versions(naggin' woman, and, dancing in the street). Of the self penned tracks best are the acoustic, nothin' in the world, and classi..."  [+]  Reply

"To me, this is one of the greatest albums of the entire 1980s decade, regardless of music genre. It is a journey in sound/sonics with just enough of a story line to engage the listener. And the second portion is some of the finest ambient music, ever. Fantastic guest musicians, including Robert F..."  [+]  Reply

"T&C is simply a massive album from start to finish blending rock, punk, folk/Celtic, etc in one beautiful collection of songs (long before it was "cool"). Never one to shy away from their convictions and difficult/current topics, T&C excels at story telling, driving emotions and getting your feet..."  [+]  Reply
