"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

"Difficult to get through all at once without banging that skip button a few times. CVB is more of a good-sounding band than a band with good songs. If it were only trimmed down, there is a great album in here somewhere. Lowery sounds a little like Paul Westerburg at times, but these guys play it ..."  [+]  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

"This is the sound of the band pleasing themselves with very little concern of pleasing a potential audience - Color Me and Impressed and Within Your Reach - proved Paul cared, just a little. Arguments have been made as to whether this aspect is either a virtue or failing of the record. I consider..."  [+]  Reply

"This is not really anywhere near Burial's best work, but I respect an artist's attempts to change and progress their sound and challenge their listeners. I'm not all too crazy about some of the percussion on here, in particular the very tacky off-kilter drums on Hiders. I hope if he/she ever drop..."  [+]  Reply

"This album an a huge favorite of mine. There ain't a stinker on the whole thing. From the shout of "Freeze Frame!" to begin the album to the equally loud shout of "Piss on the wall! to close the album, it seem that there's a non-stop parade of blues, R&B, and rock. "Do You Remember When," "River ..."  [+]  Reply

"Over a decade after The Nightfly, Fagen's second solo work somehow surpasses its predecessor. For years I thought that the first three songs were somewhat indistinguishable and that things didn't really kick into gear until "Snowbound" but now I've finally grasped the individual personalities of ..."  [+]  Reply
