"Tim Kasher, singer and eccentric frontman of Cursive, wrote two masterpieces in the course of two years: The Ugly Organ and The Good Life’s Black Out. Both albums display his trademark ironic and self deprecating lyrics. This album is sonically amazing with the addition of Gretta Cohn on cello an..."  [+]  Reply

"A gorgeous record full of lovely heartbreaking songs. You just simply cannot fail to be moved by this album. This is a record full of love, hope, regret and sadness. Be at peace with yourself, and, the coast no man can tell, are two of the most achingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. Extremel..."  [+]  Reply

"Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre" is one of my favorite pieces of music because it musically represents death so incredibly well. You listen to it, and it just sounds like death, it sounds like the music of the dead. Every sound in that piece sounds like it’s coming from a ghost itself. Not si..."  [+]  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

"If You Buy this expecting a "rock album" or a doors album you may well be disappointed. There are bits of Doors music interspersed throughout Jim Morrison's poetry, which a lot of snooty poets will turn their noses up at. But whatever the quality of his poems, the result of that mix cre..."  [+]  Reply

"The album is basically the UK release of Louder Than Bombs and actually predates LTB by a couple of months. Both were collections of singles that didn't appear on any Smiths studio albums. The comp was released between studio releases to tide fans over in the meantime. The only difference between..."  [+]  Reply

"Cat's best album, IMO. The raw production most of the songs makes it hold up well almost 50 years later, I guess the acoustic nature of folk music is generally rather timeless in style. Funny piece of trivia: the name of the album was Cat's name for a certain, uh, masculine part of his body - whi..."  [+]  Reply

"I have the same problem with this albums like I have with Star Wars. It doesn't feel like a real Wilco-album. Both albums feel like some songs from a demo tape. It's a nice compilation of songs that didn't fit on the regular albums. This a not the visonary songs that made Wilco great. It feels li..."  [+]  Reply
