"The production and samples are tight. Check out the laid-back guitar-lick sample on "pyrex vision" or cooing woos on "new wu". (the opening "have mercy" sample reminds me of messiah's "21st century jesus".) The delivery is often commanding and in-your-face like opening song "house of flying dagge..."  [+]  Reply

"So I've given it a bit more time and attention. The highs became really high and the lows turned out to be growers/slow burners I wasn't in the mood for. Fantastic, even if a bit less energetic."  Reply

"Sacramento duo Blackalicious is fronted by one of the most underrated MC's in the business, Gift of Gab, whose raps are jam-packed with internal rhymes, allusions, metaphors, ten-cent words, and amazing tongue-twisting feats of skill. Blazing Arrow, one of the richest, most captivating albums eve..."  [+]  Reply

"To quote someone on Reddit, "The Van Morrison of the Twitter age". And to quote Pitchfork, "Everything feels silvery and romantic, like a hallucination of the classic-rock songbook". Honestly I'm adoring this album, it's already in my top 5 for the year so far. I just can't stop listening to "Bel..."  [+]  Reply

"Great, great memories with this one. It never gets old and I always enjoy it a lot. It also has one of my favourites ever: 'Send me An Angel'. What a great way to end a classic album"  Reply

"Talk about an underrated album. "Grand Theft Autumn (Where Is Your Boy,)" and "Saturday" are both solid pop/punk tracks. "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago" is actually my favorite Fall Out Boy song, and among my fifty favorite songs of all time. Great stuff here."  Reply

"I wasn't a big fan of Thrice until I heard this album. When I did, I thought, there is hope for American rock in the 2000s. Also notable releases by the band are Major/Minor and The Alchemy index, which almost made this list instead because of its concept: The 4 classical elements of Fire/Water a..."  [+]  Reply

"I really don’t know what happened to Paul, he used to write such great, clever lyrics. Here some of his songs are very basic lyrically, with lines that use words that a 10 year old would use like: sad, mad, good, and happy. Despite repeated warnings tries very hard to emulate band on the run, and..."  [+]  Reply
