"The worthy follow-up to Beck's seminal Blow By Blow, this disc boasts some outstanding fusion workouts. "Led Boots," a fine interpretation of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" and keyboardist Jan Hammer's "Blue Wind" totally kick ass. Outstanding guitar work from one of the greats in his prime." Reply
"this website is frustrating lol. Too many hipsters and boomers and not enough cultured individuals. If you like jazz-funk-soul then disregard this album's rating and go listen to it NOW. If you're a Radiohead or Kanye West fan, go ahead and leave without leaving a rating. Thanks." Reply

"70-80/100 (Really solid dance punk album. Has some killer tracks to dance to and some that may make you feel very sad - whilst still dancing - and sadly some songs/interlude tracks that seem a bit pointless.) This was actually a very, very sad listen. I feel like this is an incredibly desperate, ..." [+] Reply

"BOCs first album was unlike anything that had come before, and well demonstrated the dark wit and musicianship these guys had to offer. The sound is raw and low-tech, but that works well with their songs and presentation. One of the great debut albums in rock history." Reply

"This album has entered my Overall list at the expense of Burial’s EPs on their own which gives me room to add other deserving albums. I want to highlight Kindred and Truant/Rough Sleeper as the 2 EPs on this compilation that tower above the others. They have so much to offer the avid, immersive l..." [+] Reply

"There is no doubt that this artist has once been a fan of Damien Rice. And that he gets a lot of hate because he writes beutiful songs that kids like too. Yes "too". It's the Coldplay Syndrome or guilty pleasure that messes up someones I guess already fragile macho self-image. There is no wheel-i..." [+] Reply
"Wainwright is very underrated... he has a beautiful voice, he writes incredible music, and he's slowly becoming one of my favorites." Reply
