"Holy cow this is an awesome album. Not the Destroyer I'm used to. Much earlier sound, more like Velvet Underground meets indie rock? Somewhat Dylan plus some Bowie musically? Mountain Goats? Whatever it is, it's fantastic!" 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

"Strong album with an absolute stunner opener. The middle section gets a bit repetitive which keeps it from getting the really high scores." Reply

"Still letting this one seep into the soul. It’s a stunningly expansive piece of work that feels like a single piece that ebbs and flows seemlessly. The orchestral touches are unobtrusively embedded in the music as well. In time there will be tracks that rise above others in my consciousness but a..." [+] Reply

"If there's one Los Lobos album that cannot be ignored it is undoubtedly "Kiko". You can draw parallels to the Kinks' '"Village Green Preservation Society" or the Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's." Two albums that have become classics because musical details have met in a higher unity. These three albums ha..." [+] Reply

"Carly's big-picture album, the tracks are pretty seamlessly woven together making it her most atmospheric and sonically cohesive album to date. So why do I rarely feel elated while listening, or find myself humming any favorite tunes in particular? It's a worthy next-step artistically for Carly t..." [+] Reply

"Not a very original album for the post-punk genre. There are traces of Joy Division, Interpol, Wire, The Strokes, and even some Stooges thrown all over the record. But anyway, not every album has to be a groundbreaking milestone of some kind, right? The songs are raw-sounding and pretty well-writ..." [+] Reply
