"This album is worth a listen. Moody, melacholic and beautiful. Hide and Seek could be on the best produced songs of all time." Reply

"A sequel just as bonkers and brilliant as the first. Totally ridiculous metal, a kind of hybrid of Iron Maiden and Queen. Great fun songs in, Dr. Stein, rise and fall, and, March of time. Unbelievably catchy." Reply
"Good first attempt, but only half of the album is what I would call "great." Also, this album is missing both Phil Rudd and Mark Evans, so it isn't quite ACDC yet... Soul Stripper is one of the very few times where Malcolm does some soloing, and, damn, the interplay between the Young brothers on ..." [+] Reply

"A much less consistent album than, astral weeks, or, moondance. Any of the tracks on this album would have been filler on those majestic records. Still, it's an enjoyable LP, with, domino, blue money, and, gypsy queen, some of the standouts, although in truth there's nothing spectacular here. Jus..." [+] Reply

"I love this. I missed the first album at the time but got this not too long after it came out. Fits right in with the classics of the shoegazers. I like the first album when I got it years later but doesn't compre to this for me. The songs, vocals, production all fantastic. Great guitar work that..." [+] Reply

"For what it's worth, the most mind bending live performance I've ever heard." Reply
"OMD with more than a nod towards Kraftwerk...quite different to Architecture & Morality, more industrial but a good listen. Difficult to rate tracks individually but as a whole I like it. The whole album rating more than just a sum of its parts. Oh, and Radio Waves most definitely should have bee..." [+] Reply
"It feels like a long, warm embrace. Love the guitar playing and strings arrangements, and Ms Marling is as strong as ever lyrically. Moving stuff, really, perfect for the fall season" Reply

"I'm sorry, Views is utter trash. One Dance is by far the worst song I heard in 2016 and it says alot about how generic Drake got after Hotline Bling that he even threw it in as a desperate extra bonus track. After the If You're Listening mixtape, which I thought was really great, this is Drake re..." [+] Reply
