"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

"An underrated Lou Reed album. Coney island baby, is obviously not his best record but it's certainly in his top five. A more laid back LP, apart from that loud part on, kicks, it's an enjoyable LP, Lou Reed's summer record. The title track is lovely and to think this was the follow up to, metal m..." [+] Reply

"Before commenting on the listening process, I have to confess my love for the cover of this album. One might argue that it's a completely irrelevant aspect, but here it's not so much about Its aesthetic value as a standalone piece of art, but more as an accurate representation of what you are abo..."

"It is my most favourite Walkmen's album. Apparently the band has grown in thier unique style and finaly released a real classic." Reply
"It's monolithic. A massive, unique sound (punk quartet plus orchestra) that mostly lives up to the ambition of the songs. It feels conceptual too, like a Grand Statement. I love some songs more than others but the good ones are seriously good. Pain Killer is in my Top 10 songs of the year so far." Reply

"It\'s a good 3 disc offering, but could\'ve been a great one if whittled down to 2 CDs or even 1 of the best stuff. Emancipation represents the new prince sound that he\'d carry on with varying subtle flavors going forward. You\'ve heard this sound in small quantities on diamonds and pearls, 0(+>..." [+] Reply
"Another fantastic album following 'Sin after Sin'. Starting to move into slightly heavier songwriting. Majority of tracks on this are top grade hard rock/metal. Lacking a bit of the variety other albums have. Even though there's a ballad, a lot of the songs have the same structure & sound making ..." [+] Reply

"Very nice compilation with 2 new great tracks - superhit 'Justify My Love' and unfortunately, so criminally underrated 'Rescue Me'. Also, I love new version of 'Like A Prayer'" Reply
