"Absolutely MASSIVE post-rock album. Beautiful, ominous, and completely unforgettable soundscapes painted by God Is An Astronaut. This is hands down my favorite post-rock album, and potentially overall album of the 2000s. Unfortunately overlooked by some, but if you appreciate instrumental albums,..."  [+]  Reply

"Why he didn't release this sooner will always be a mystery to me. It's kind of a masterpiece. Separate Ways, the title track, and White Line are great. Florida is fine, but it sticks out like a sore thumb on an album like this."  Reply

"This anticipates the return to form that was Backspacer. There are a handful of very worthwhile tracks on this including the understated, underrated Come Back and the very lovely Marker in the Sand."  Reply

"For some reason I never noticed it before, but this album is a lot like Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden. And with each listen is grows more and more profound. From the poetic lyrics, to the brilliant musicianship that blends jazz and post rock into lush arrangements. It's an album that seems much simp..."  [+]  Reply

"I can understand the backlash directed toward this album: Within Temptation's fusion of 80s pop rock and 00s symphonic metal is now complete. Still, it's a collection of consistent songs with quite a few standout moments. It's a concept album, but the story - like most concept albums - is impenet..."  [+]  Reply

"it's funny with Sinead. the period when that record came out corresponds with its extreme and fundamentalist tendencies. And despite his sometimes strange reactions, these songs have never sounded so sure of it. Sinead is nonconformist, rebellious, she exaggerates .... but this disc is a mix betw..."  [+]  Reply

"There aren't many artists that can keep such a high level of level of inspiration as Lucinda Williams. Now into her fourth decade as a recording artist, Williams says she finds inspiration and comfort in NOT getting comfortable.
