"This album is worth a listen. Moody, melacholic and beautiful. Hide and Seek could be on the best produced songs of all time." Reply

"this website is frustrating lol. Too many hipsters and boomers and not enough cultured individuals. If you like jazz-funk-soul then disregard this album's rating and go listen to it NOW. If you're a Radiohead or Kanye West fan, go ahead and leave without leaving a rating. Thanks." Reply

"M & D debut was very successful. Her second album is not as good as the first one but you can hear it :)" Reply
"The debut album by The Replacements is a rip roaring punk rock record that fizzes by in a flash. Sorry Ma, is a superb record full of energy and hunger.

"This is Battles first album since losing their vocalist, and their sound has changed a bit. I would say that their last album, “Mirrored" was strange. Good, but quite strange.

"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
