"If I had to state any positives I have with this album, "Brian Wilson" is very close to being a pretty good song. It starts off decently with just some acoustic guitar and it's pleasant and surprising that it's not immediately terrible. Then they had to ruin it by having like 10 instruments blare..."  [+]  Reply

"I feel that some of these tracks reek early 90's as well as having a song like Shake, which was easily the worst song on the album. However songs like Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, Paper Doll, Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine,A Watchers Point of View, Even After I Die and On A Clear Day were som..."  [+]  Reply

"“Crash” sees Charli XCX move from hyper pop into more conventional styles. The sound is a combination of contemporary pop and 80’s revival. Overall, this is crafted very competently though lacking a special touch. The choruses exist in the realm of memorable enough to recall but not to be stuck i..."  [+]  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 ..."  [+]  Reply

"The black rider, is Tom Waits collaboration with William Burroughs and Robert Wilson, and is based on a German folk tale, it's one of Waits' most challenging albums. Still, as all Waits records, there are some fantastic tracks here. Just the right bullets, November, i'll shoot the moon, and the e..."  [+]  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
