"Fantastic Jazz album, this is one record to listen to when you're starting to get into the genre! Great fast-paced pieces like the title track, Spiral, and Cousin Mary proves how Jazz doesn't always have to be very relaxing and slow (Nothing wrong with that though)."  Reply

"I love this album. This was my first wilco record and I remember as a 14 year old St Louis music fan this album was a revelation! I was hooked! Yeah, just about every song is great! And the varied stylistic range of the tracks is super impressive. "How To Fight Loneliness" still gets me every tim..."  [+]  Reply

"A landmark album for my change in taste of music, and for that maybe it gets more credit in my book. I hate comparing anyone to anyone, but I like to think of Phoenix as what Of Montreal would sound like if they actually sounded good. Following It's Never Been Like That, this album shows how Phoe..."  [+]  Reply

"For a period in my life, I couldn't believe that Slowdive would reunite and ever release another album. After a 22-year-long hiatus, they prove not only that they are a staple in the shoegazing genre, but also that their ambition has peaked to an unprecedented height. In comparison to the low-pro..."  [+]  Reply

"Sometimes tension in the studio can remarkably create classic albums , The Beatles 'White Album' and Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' are cases in point. You can also add Sued's 'Dog Man Star' to that list Rehearsals for 'Dog Man Star' were very tense and would split the band into two separate camps. Be..."  [+]  Reply

"I feel like I should explain my last comment. When most people people think of emotional 80's music, their mind usually jumps to The Smiths. And while I really enjoy The Smiths, their music, and their lyrics, I don't feel like they're describing problems I've had or things I've thunk, so it's har..."  [+]  Reply

"Oh this album is so much fun. I'm being totally serious. It's heavy, loud, and fast. I have no idea how they can play and sing so fast but it really takes me by storm and makes my adrenaline pump. The high-pitched tales of the terrors of hell are awesomely hilarious. Completely over the top lyric..."  [+]  Reply
