"(It's a Julien Baker album, it's a good album. One of the contenders for the championship belt of badass sad sack songwriters comes back with a whole lot more production punch than she had on her last couple albums. The result is a lush, at times overly so, but mostly gorgeous album that will abs..."  [+]  Reply

"There needs to be a term for this kind of music that’s been gaining such popularity so quickly. Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, The Punch Brothers, Trampled By Turtles, and now The Lumineers. It’s like all of a sudden the public cares a little bit about bluegrass. But it’s not “true" bluegras..."  [+]  Reply

"The people who dismiss the Monkees without ever having listened to them, and who refer to them derisively as a "band" (never without quotation marks), can never really be convinced of their merits. I don't have ill feelings toward these people because they had the whole media telling a story abou..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic country album. Don't know why this is so low rated. All good songs and 'Jolene' and 'I will always love you'. The latter so much better than the Whitney Houston version. A must have!"  Reply

"My favorite all time soundtrack album. It's even better than the T.V. series soundtrack, with little Jimmy Scott one of the many highlights with the haunting, sycamore trees. Julee Cruise sings another beautiful track, and the instrumentals from Angelo Badalmenti are stunning, atmospheric, beauti..."  [+]  Reply

"One current artist I'm astounded has yet to follow up this masterful work of retro=pop material. Bulletproof was an absolute smash and Ellie has remained quiet long after. Looking forward to the follow up more than any other really since it's been so long"  Reply

"Not only best album of the year, but one of the best albums of the decade and of latin american music. Listening to this, the amazing music and emotional lyrics from poems by Pablo Neruda is breathtaking. You actually feel on top o Machu Picchu. Trascendental experience and really worth checking."  Reply
