"For me this is comfortably album of the decade so far . Rich, varied and complex compositions with production and mixing par excellence. Kamasi and his cohorts have made sublime stuff here and it's possibly the finest jazz release of the century." Reply
"This is definitely an album that is different, unlike much of anything you’ll hear. I was trying to give this album a genre, trying to figure out what it would fit into and I decided on a somewhat pop, somewhat R&B feel. Then I looked them up on Wikipedia and the genre that was given was “Alterna..." [+] Reply

"If you happen to be a fan of Silversun Pickups, I believe you will like The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. They have a very similar sound. Some elements of shoegaze, some elements of indie rock all mixed together to make one really good album. One of the things I really like about this album is th..." [+] Reply

"I finally understood the purpose of this song; it's a satire of the futility of the blues, of bands that only did that. Pink Floyd, to represent the absence of ideas, put the dog to sing in that style of music, and it works well too." 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

"I'm sure they listened to German New Wave, timtooky, but I am positive they listened to English new wave, ska-punk, and post-punk a whole lot more. The Cure and The Police were among the biggest influences for Argentine bands in the 80s. It is lazy to write this off as a ____ version of ____, esp..." [+] Reply

"A decent album with some fine pop songs, but it just misses the mystique and atmosphere of the first album. Still, there's nothing wrong with the quality of music here, it's just I prefer the more interesting sounds of, felt mountain." Reply
