"A surprisingly good album. There are points where his youth shows but I thought it would be much more juvenile. Tim uses his accented voice like on Hello Goodbye and I prefer his more free vocals that started on Happy Sad but they're still fantastic vocals. He puts together some really nice melod..." [+] Reply

"What a phenomenal bassist, man. The harmonics, the melodies, the vibrance and clarity in expression and dynamic mastery. As I said elsewhere, there isn't much that can top Pastorius. Continuum and A Portrait of Tracy are incredibly beautiful, reflective tracks that completely captivate your mind ..." [+] Reply

"On 2011's The Hunter, Mastodon shed their sludge roots and their recent progressive tendencies, shifting to a straightforward hard rock sound. On this record, they bring back a bit of the prog, but are still leaning heavily on catchy riffs and choruses. It hasn't done much to appease fans of thei..." [+] Reply

"I'm honestly really surprised Shiina Ringo doesn't have more recognition from this site. A lot of people call her a J-pop artist, although I think pop rock or simply alternative rock are probably more appropriate; that's not all that important and perhaps me (being primarily a fan of rock music) ..."

"This album is simply a new, beautiful and rare masterpiece. Original in style, well balanced & consistent - like one long piece made up of related movements - and totally gorgeous sounds and melodies from start to finish. Probably Goldfrapp's best album, and deserves much higher ratings than curr..." [+] Reply

"Jon Hassell cleverly combines his electronic processing of sound with tribal/environmental recordings, giving this album a real sense of strangeness and wonder. Beware! The opening track will make you think your speakers are f*cked. I used to play this album all the time when I was younger and my..." [+] Reply
"First three tracks? Very solid. The rest? Can't remember a thing about them." Reply

"A very strong debut album. Hints at what Tull were to become but stand out. Their 3 earlier albums (Stand Up, This Was & Benefit) are blues rock and stand slightly apart from the rest of their musical corpus. If you are into late 60s-early 70s blues-rock, these early Tull albums are essential." Reply

"Seventeen Going Under represents a wind of change for male pop stars with guitars. The dregs of the 2010s capitalisation on them are on the way out, and none could even come within eyeshot of Fender’s genuine, essential writing. Heck, few things in music can right now: the pride with which he wea..." [+] Reply

"Phenomenal at some points like Sweet Jane or All The Young Dudes (One of my favorite all time songs) but very weak at others, it seems to Marc Bolan in the second half of the album but he never has the same sensibility" Reply
