"THEY COULD HAVE BEEN AS BIG AS.... DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!!! Indie Rock used to be scary. I’m not shitting you. I was there! When bands like Jesus Lizard who would just as much fight you as play for you. At least it seemed that way. I mean the bass player would just give you this death stare for the..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my favorite new wave albums of the early 80s and all time. Blinded me with Science was issued on subsequent releases to this album so I do consider it part of Golden Age of Wireless"  Reply

"Dependable as ever . In more than 30 years now , this band has not released a bad album , Their newest output is full of gut-punching riffs and emotional vocals . Negative point : Five years after ``Ohms`` we only get 43 minutes of music ."  Reply

"As has already been said there is a "Cure" feel about this album via Robert Smith on guitars/keyboards. It is however essentially a Banshee record although Smiths influence cannot be denied(Dazzle, Bring Me The Head.... & Blow The House Down). Other notable tracks are Take Me Back & We Hunger."  Reply

"If you like hard funk this record is for you. She growls, screeches and let's it all hang out here. This album though is not as good as her earlier material and the songwriting is a bit uneven. If she would have hooked up with a better band she might have produced more material and still be aroun..."  [+]  Reply

"Wow this album really blew me away. I saw few people on tiktok heavily praising it and decided to give it a listen. I never listened to Quadeca before, but i heard of him from his Youtube stuff, And even after first listen i could feel this could be a contender for AOTY spot. And here we are at m..."  [+]  Reply

"DBT return to the fray, this time writing about political/ human rights events that America faces in the 21st century. There are a lot of political pleas here. I don't think they want us to change any minds here, they just want us to listen and think about what is going on in current events. The ..."  [+]  Reply

"The ultimate beach boys surf album. It's a definite improvement on their debut, in terms of quality. The title track is a fun reworking of Chuck Berry's sweet little sixteen. Other standouts are the absolutely beautiful lonely sea, Brian's fist great ballad, and, noble surfer. There's quite a few..."  [+]  Reply
