"The Greatest Show on Earth is a masterwork." 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

"Not only is this enjoyable pop, but the lyrics are either very witty, or very powerful. 22 is cruelly depressing, Chinese was the sweetest song I've heard in a while, Back To The Start was disturbingly relatable, and Him gave me chills. Very strong piece of work here." Reply

"Punk rock have never been better and probably never will" 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
"This album shows the best how music can describe emotions and believe me, this album is full of them." Reply
"Nick Cave may not be as young as he used to be, but his most recent side project takes the rawness and energy that The Birthday Party once oozed in and moulds it with the eyes and hands of a dirty old man. Sexy yet crude, rough yet calculated - it sounds exactly like its name." Reply
