"Easily my favorite musical soundtrack of the 2010s. The songs are all heavily influenced by jazz, with the instrumentation often stealing the spotlight. That's not to say the singing and lyrics aren't great though. Emma Stone and, to a slightly lesser degree, Ryan Gosling, hit it out of the park,..." [+] Reply
"I bought this on cassette when it came out and was hooked. I listened to it several times in a row without stopping and haven't stopped listening to it for 20 years. In the span of albums from "Box" through "Under the Stars," Robert Pollard draws inspiration from the entire history of rock after ..." [+] Reply
"Hopefully this will go down as a classic, this is Converge's best work since Jane Doe." Reply

"R.E.M has finally done it again with this album! Every track has something going for it, and they flow perfectly. Discoverer blasts in with some sharp guitars, whilst, It Happened Today brings some cheerful light into the album, and slower tracks like Walk It Back are beautiful. Not to forget it'..." [+] Reply

"One of the all time jazz greats! Wynton Kelly and his trio make a perfect match for Montgomery's leads and improvisation. Indispensable for any jazz fan." Reply

"How can this record be rated in the upper 8 thousands. Well produced, thoughtful and brilliantly executed this album deserves more respect. People open your minds!" Reply
"As far as EPs go, this one's a winner. If you're a fan of Fleet Foxes, this is essential, and even if you're just a casual enjoyer of their music it's worth a listen, especially (but certainly not only) because of the standout track Mykonos. This EP offers most of what we've come to expect from t..." [+] Reply

"Good Times is a legendary and highly influential song, worthy of a mini-doc of its own. Following the lead single is a collection of consistently good songs. None come close to the initial peak, but offer organic and tight grooves that vary from yearning slow jams to slick mid-tempo dance numbers." Reply
