"(A new, slower, more world-weary and soulful Iceage has immerged with this one. And...its stunning and brilliant. Some of the best rock music of the year of any style or sub-genre. Faint hints of that youthful Iceage post-punk-y-ness that we have come to know so well melds with a blues punk, root..."  [+]  Reply

"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

"Neil's twenty-sixth studio album, and the first after a career-longest 4 year break. He used the time wisely apparently, as this was as strong a record as post Harvest Moon Neil would put out. This was also Neil looking backward, reliving his years with Buffalo Springfield and even recording some..."  [+]  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

"This is a great album. So good to see a band well into their career finding form and releasing an album that is worth listening to. Ordered the CD after streaming this. It has the classic Metallica sound, James has found his voice again. the album is a little long, bloating it a little. But I hav..."  [+]  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

"If there’s a surfeit of nineties-remembering artists these days, there are many, many more whose entire style is about taking the iconography of the internet and mashing it all up “ironically”. Holly Herndon has some of this going on throughout Platform but actually she’s got a lot to say about a..."  [+]  Reply

"The only problem with this album is that it is only half and hour long. I have literally listened to this album everyday for the last few months, no exaggeration. Every song from this album has over a hundred plays on my iTunes."  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
