"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

"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

"Amazing album, there are bangers there are tears, there is hell of a lot of glam there are shivers and there is a ton of originality as well as some really fresh tributes to 80s music. The band mixes contemporary indie with some reaally good punk and a touch of pop and trap. (yeah that's a lot bu..."  [+]  Reply

"I don't know if this is breaking any new ground, maybe not but the playing is great and the riffs are really catchy. Gets a bit samey after the first half, but I like this band's sound so much that I didn't mind. Thrash/death metal classic and a great listen. I'd feel bad for anyone who missed bo..."  [+]  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

"The minimilist structure and repetitive rhythm of the album is closer to "Sister Ray" than their seminal debut. The percussion is relentless amongst distorted guitar sounds which trump melody. The latter is effectively abandoned in favour of an eerie narrow expressiveness. The album contains vers..."  [+]  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

"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
