"Funnily enough, "Timeless" does feel like it's going on forever, but it is a remarkable record that still feels fresh and smooth. Must be some sort of magnum opus in the D&B genre."  Reply

"I used to listen regularly to the Grateful Dead, and I especially liked both "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty", so it was natural to give the predecessor to these two 1970 albums,"Aoxomoxoa", a chance. I was soon obvious that "Aoxomoxoa" was much in the same vein as its two successors, bu..."  [+]  Reply

"A completely underrated and overlooked album. 9, Damien Rice's follow up to the excellent, O, is every bit as good as that record. It's predominately an acoustic LP but this time Rice adds electric instruments on some tracks and the album has a more challenging sound to it. Some great songs here ..."  [+]  Reply

"Black Rebel Motorcycle Club started off playing hard rock influenced by British bands such as Led Zeppelin, but on this their third album the band show other sides of themselves, with several songs similar to those of the young Bob Dylan. The acoustic guitar is the most dominant instrument, which..."  [+]  Reply

"Honestly, I really think this album surpasses Danzig in every way. It is so undeniably good. Danzig has a lot of tracks that can get old at times, but I could listen to this over and over. Highlights include 777, Her Black Wings, and Tired of Being alive for me. Worth a listen, maybe 9."  Reply

"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

"A perfect dance album from the incredible string of 10 five-star LPs that Sinatra made since 1954. In just 6 years. Beginning with "Songs for Young Lovers!" (including Come Fly With Me, Only the Lonely, In The Wee Small Hours, Nice and Easy). An essential part of the history of the great Amerian ..."  [+]  Reply

"Awesome early industrial noise record using found sounds like metal plates and I believe even power tools. Einstürzende Neubauten sets the vibe from the very beginning; very ominous. This album contains lots of yelling, screeching, and tidbits of noise usually layered over a slow drum beat. Its e..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a fantastic noise-pop album. I know it's not grounbraking, but music doesn't have to be groundbraking all the time. The melodies are beautiful, the somewhat heavy instrumentation and the smooth classical keyboards are awesome. Simply awesome musicianship in this debut. Too soon, I know, b..."  [+]  Reply
