"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
"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

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
"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
