"So this is where it all started with ten of the songs recorded in an eleven hour session. It features their two singles up to that point, love me do and the title track. The other standouts from Lennon-McCartney are the rollicking opener, I saw her standing there and the beautiful and overlooked ..."  [+]  Reply

"How can you rate this before it comes out? The version yesterday wasn't complete and even if it was, it was a livestream of music being played over an arena sound system, not exactly the best audio quality."  Reply

"Seriously, listening to 40 mins of El-P and Killer Mike calling out all the fuckboys in the world is as good as it gets. Yeah i know that's not representative of the entire album but its bloody refreshing to finally hear a hip hop record with the balls to ignore label stereotypes yet still be as ..."  [+]  Reply

"To fully appreciate and understand 'XO' context is really important The 'XO' journey really begins the year prior in 1997 with Smiths break through release 'Either/Or'as well as his appearance on the Good Will Hunting Soundtrack ("Miss Misery") and with their release the genie was out of the bott..."  [+]  Reply

"It's very difficult for me to break apart albums such as this one because nu-metal is not a genre that I'm familiar with. I find it hard to decipher between the songs that I'm hearing as being thorough and strongly executed ideas and what is filler/what are the weaker tracks. But I think this alb..."  [+]  Reply

"This album changed my life, and these guys could have easily been the next Beatles if their record company didn't screw them over. Every song has that perfect crystallized pop sound that gives me goosebumps, and I think "Give Me Another Chance" has some of the most moving harmonies and lyrics eve..."  [+]  Reply

"This album was nearly as mind bending for me as Kid A the first time I heard it. I had never heard anything like it before. The perfect mix of excellent straightforward songs and brash experiments still resonates with me in a big way."  Reply

"Been binging on this album for a few days, and it's becoming quite the love fest. I used to dislike his vocal delivery, but it's really grown on me, plus his lyrics are some of the best. And the music is splendid."  Reply
