"It took me a long time to warm up to this one. Maybe it was the soft jazz of the opening track. Maybe it was the operatic vocals on the second track. Maybe it was the marimbas. But in general it felt a tad too precious. Like they were trying to create the most new-agey sounding album of the 70s, ..."  [+]  Reply

"Talking to cat's, breakdowns in a tent, asking your doctor what their favourite band is, and worrying about the minutae of day-to-day life constitute the lyrical preoccupation's of this album. However, it is not sweetly sung, rather screamed, howled, and shouted whilst a roiling sea of noise swir..."  [+]  Reply

"While I agree with many on this site that you are best exploring an artist’s original releases rather than live or studio complications, I find Neil Young to be the exception. If I had to recommend two Neil Young albums for a newb, I’d suggest Decade and Live Rust. Neil’s catalog is extremely dee..."  [+]  Reply

"Hval tries a more "fun" album following the dark and mesmerising Menneskekollektivet. Though I'm cetainly partial to a bit of Hval, I've followed her for most of her discography, Classic Objects is one of the most listenable projects she's done, maybe even more so than Apocalypse Now and The Long..."  [+]  Reply

"I love show tunes and this album has a handful of spectacular ones. "Maria" "America" "Tonight""I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere". The last song was even the song of my graduating class!"  Reply

"The record Dave Grohl referred to as Motorhead doing Sgt Pepper. Much better than Sonic Highways indeed. Most out of left field Foo Fighters album possibly ever. It's very different for them. Huge Beatles vibe to it. I'm actually in love with that aspect of this. This, to me, is probably the reco..."  [+]  Reply
