"I think this group flies under the radar a little as this is another great album from them to add to their already stacked discography. The music is rich and feels grand and there is so much to explore that it takes so many listens before you finally digest it all fully. Instrumentally, it is ext..."  [+]  Reply

"I was 11 years old when this album came out. My brother had just started learning to play bass. Naturally, this is the record he wanted to learn to play. Taking his lead, this quickly became my favorite album of that time. I was obsessed. Calypool's bass still sounds like no other."  Reply

"Darker and colder than her first album, Black Origami finds Jlin swimming at the deep end, pulling out all manner of percussive tricks and dehumanised vocal samples to produce a record that demands you move your body without the simple four-to-the-floor template."  Reply

"Yes, I've listened to every White Stripes record, the Raconteurs records, and Jack White's solo works... This is White's best record. Horehound's thematic solidarity makes even Elephant sound a little scattered in ideology. In my opinion, it has his career's best grooves (Treat Me Like Your Mothe..."  [+]  Reply

"Honestly an amazing album, "Everybodys talking" is fantastic and Nilssons own song writing was at a peak here. "My old desk" is great and so is "bath". "One" is a stand out and given the popularity of "one" and "everybodys talking" im surprised this album is so over looked. Its perhaps one of the..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is as funky as it can get! Besides the very cool music, the whole concept of the album is pretty interesting. Tim Maia was well known for his many issues with drugs, alcohol and obesity tempered by his light hearted, easygoing and unreliable but likeable personality. After hitting the ..."  [+]  Reply

"An efficient melodic indie rock album made from a simple and already known recipe. In fact, this album reminds me the early Real Estate... a bit more melodic. However, Healthy Moon, Loose Ends are excellent songs! Favorite tracks: Out Of Mind, Healthy Moon, Loose Ends Less favorite tracks: Blue B..."  [+]  Reply
