"Pop/hip-hop. Buffalo Stance is a tune and a half. Thought it might be a one-hit wonder of an album but the rest of the tracks are also decent. Second favourite track is the final track, So Here I Come."  Reply

"Criminally underrated album. Some of the best songs in all of Browne's career…"Something Fine", "Rock Me On the Water", "From Silver Lake", etc. are all worthy of 95-100 ratings. There's really not a moment of this record that I don't love, even if the production is a little rough, and it's secon..."  [+]  Reply

"I'll be completely honest, I don't get why this is the top ranked album. So American and Sleep Forever are great tracks, but the whole middle part of the album contains a bunch of little hooky songs that get stuck in my head because of all the wrong reasons. Danger mouse certainly brought the bes..."  [+]  Reply

"Absolute fire album. Consistent quality throughout, the Travis Scott influenced beats and quirky flow from Quavo and Takeoff works brilliantly. The lyrics are not necessarily philosophically deep but this is an album you can just pop on at a party on in the car and just groove to."  Reply

"The second half of this album is a bit weaker, but this is possibly the greatest piece of art that Lady Gaga has ever produced. And this site has criminally under rated LG and other adjacent pop artists for decades and it is time for all of you boomers to realize that pop music in 2025 is far bet..."  [+]  Reply

"Another brilliant Frank Sinatra album. Collaborating with Nelson Riddle, Sinatra produces a pleasing easy on the ear recording. Originally an eight track LP, it has now been extended to twelve, still, the original release is lovely. Featuring, I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, a..."  [+]  Reply

"Everybody is back! Loved hearing everybody contributing on this album, Feist, Amy and Emily. Ariel Engle did great live filling in, and on her own songs. Saw them a few days after Gord Downie died and Kevin Drew soldiered on but with a couple of rough patches and a walk off stage, but came back s..."  [+]  Reply
