"I like this far more than their previous release, Smother, which I found to be rather boring and mediocre. This one on the other hand beholds some nice melodies and harmonies and a cool synthy and light vibe to it."  Reply

"(This is an awe-inspiring return by this duo after 16 years of no LPs released. Perhaps the darkest and most hopeless album I've heard this year - I suppose it helps that I can't understand the words in the new Knoll and Ad Nauseam and other death/grind albums - and also one of the better and mor..."  [+]  Reply

"A brilliant album from an underrated songwriter. Jesus of cool, is up there with albums from Elvis Costello and Graham Parker from the same period. Featuring the hit, I love the sound of breaking glass, Jesus of cool, includes other excellent songs in, little Hitler,, so it goes, and, Marie Provo..."  [+]  Reply

"'Stick With Me Baby', 'Lucille' and 'Cathy's Clown' are some highlights here. My personal favorite is their original version of 'Love Hurts', recorded about a decade before Nazareth popularized it with their fantastic cover. Overall, a great album and one of my favourites from the Everly Brothers."  Reply

"By 1985 Heart had become a dinosaur 70s band and their previous two albums (1983's Passionworks and 1982's Private Audition) did not sell as well as their first five albums, all of which had hit the US Top 10 and were certified platinum. Heart had never been a singles band, but those previous two..."  [+]  Reply

"The music is witty, poppy and danceable. Hot chip bring their own style with these immediately-infectious tunes. i had a good inclination this new album would blow that one away upon hearing lead single "ready for the floor", which just builds with brilliance. "one pure thought" was my other top ..."  [+]  Reply

"What a gorgeous album! An excellent way to start of Hackett's solo career with a concept album based on tarot cards. The electric guitars sound awesome, but really this album is about the acoustic guitar, and the flutes. All the songs are great, but the best is "Shadow of the Hierophant" which is..."  [+]  Reply
