"Such a cool band. This album doesn't disappoint. First track is one of those slow building songs which plays as a nice ramp up to their killer single Processed by the Boys. This release is just as cool as their older stuff but with a continuous spooky wind instrument type thing going on throughou..." [+] Reply

"Simply put, Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T. sounds like it was recorded by psychotics in a derelict asylum — expect a lot of screaming, scraping, metallic sounds, rhythms that sound more primal and scary than anything, lyrics which are like nightmares (one of them literally is the recollection of ..."

"This is a tour de force exposition of all the things that make Loreena McKennitt great, from her soothing ethereal voice to her ability to find material and write great songs." Reply

"Will someone please tell me why America didn't love this? The 2nd album from Gomez was a hit just about everywhere in the world except for the US. It's loaded with great hooks, from "Hangover" and "Bring It On" to "Rhythm & Blues Alibi" and "Fill My Cup". I remember sitting in traffic with Ann on..." [+] Reply

"Love this record. Great lyrical imagery throughout the album makes it feel like a collection of short stories." Reply
"For such a major event, I’m surprised I have not listened to more music about the pandemic. Certainly some surface level references but nothing really conflicting with the event. That was until I heard “Dance Fever”. Florence paints such a vivid picture of the removal of live music by the plague...." [+] Reply

"The one last shot at mass communication! Whether that will mean anything or not in years to come, what stands out from this album is the right royal noise the group make. The strings are out on 'It's Not War Just The End Of Love' providing a brilliant conclusion to the bitter euphoria 'Your Love ..." [+] Reply
"Ok let's address the Elephant in the room .. and of course I'm referring to Track 6 "Rollin With The Flow" . Holy cow it's an awful cover of an equally awful track and who ever ticked it off for inclusion on this album should slap themselves in the face . Hand's down contender for worst 2018 trac..."

"This is an album I absolutely love but wouldn’t openly admit it, a guilty pleasure, because America was a band that could do great singles but then do a song like Muskrat Love which was covered more successfully by Captain and Tennile and would warrant ridicule. However there is no denying this i..." [+] Reply
