"Layered, intelligent, moving, and textured, this album is not just one of the better albums of the 90's, but of all time. Every track on this gem is solid and wonderful, but if you're short on time, give "Afternoon With the Axolotls" a listen. You won't be sorry." Reply
"Whether or not this is a bunch of old outtakes or unfinished tracks doesn't really make a difference to my ears. Elliott’s masterful and seemingly effortless songwriting shines through often without much instrumental backing other than a clean acoustic guitar. It's not lo-fi like Roman Candle or ..." [+] Reply
""the gold experience" marked the beginning of the denouement of prince's career. He rehashes a number of sounds from his last album along with a song he lent to tevin campbell. The songs were funky but not enough to make classics out of songs like "pussy control" and "dolphin" like he pulled off ..." [+] Reply

"Like Boys For Pele, this is an ambitious double album that has some breathtaking moments if you're willing to give it a chance." Reply

"This is a great sonic continuation of their previous album, excited to see what they do in the future. 11:21 is a highlight for me." Reply
"I read how one reviewer called this Feist's 'sex & death' album. One thing is for sure - she's not trying to repeat the indie-pop formula that led to '1234'. This is an edgy album; one that sways between soothing and biting. Feist has really evolved as an artist; this is surely one of the best al..." [+] Reply

"An undiscovered gem. A sweeping, symphonic masterpiece. This is not the Focus of Sylvia or Hocus Pocus but a more highbrow and elegiac work (although there is still a bit of yodelling)" Reply
"Glad I got to this one. I've missed proper post rock/slowcore. Scratches the itch of an Idaho or Early Day Miners while also just surprising me at every turn. A fantastic reinvention from Racing Mount Pleasant." Reply

"No indie dance album will make you groove all the way through it like Music for Men by Gossip. Nearly all the elements are there: The lead vocalist will shake you to the bone. The backing band keeps a steady groove, with just the right amount of synths and studio magic, and a hefty dose of post-p..." [+] 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 ..."
