"Perfect indie rock, never loses pace for a second and every moment of it completely surrounds you. There's definitly a post-rock vibe here as well, hints of instrumental experimentation make this album feel very entire and rewarding."  Reply

"Bright Eyes's "digital ash in a digital urn" is Conor's take on electronica. There seemed to be a bunch of these indie-songwriter-meets-IDM after the success of the postal service. Conor's lyrical style doesn't mesh 100% with the musical style, which keeps this from flowing as well as his other 2..."  [+]  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

"This album is worth buying for the title track alone which is wonderful. The rest of the album is really good with lots of contrasting musical styles melded together with great skill. Musicanship is top notch throughout and Jan Akkerman is one of the greatest guitarists ever"  Reply

"9 Years .... 9 years we Pixies/Breeders fans waited with bated breath for Kim's next move after 1993's seminal'Last Splash' and finally 'Title TK' (Journalistic short-hand for "title to come" ) appeared in 2002 T.T.K with Steve Albini back at the helm is a relatively low key affair that in no way..."  [+]  Reply

"After the rather disappointing 1972 album "Carl And The Passions / So Tough" the Beach Boys are back on track with one of their strongest albums "Holland". As with its predecessor, Brian Wilson's musical contribution is limited, but fortunately the other two Wilson brothers shine with strong song..."  [+]  Reply

"It's nearly perfect from the sheer prospect of that in its short 30 minute run time, there isnt a weak point. Golden Chords is my favorite track of 2016 thus far. This LP will find a place in my top 5 at the end of this year, and if not- that will be a testament to the year itself."  Reply
