"With Frampton Comes Alive, one of the best live album you can find. Paul took some songs, like Venus and Mars/Rock Show, Maybe I'm Amazed, and gave them new life here. Long and Winding Road is so good on here. Actually all the songs he does from the Venus and Mars album, sound so much better on t..."  [+]  Reply

"Few albums seamlessly blend with nature and become a natural part of the sounds around you. The birdsongs. The crickets chirping in the long grasses. The wind rustling through the trees. THIS does. It never seems a bit out of place. Even the birds munching at my birdseeder seem at peace with it a..."  [+]  Reply

"I still prefer the bareness of "if it was you" but they've evolved their sound in a more "professional" studio setting (partially helmed by death cab's Chris walla) to deliver some fun, new wavey lite girl punk that still finds a way to display their narcissistic view of love in a sunny, upbeat f..."  [+]  Reply

"I've heard this album described as "The kind of music Prince would have made if he was an introvert." Honestly I can't think of a better description. This album draws heavily from 80's and early 90's R&B, hip-hop, and pop, along with some other surprises, in order to create a beautiful sonic back..."  [+]  Reply

"A very pleasant glitchy experience. I understand the concern about the length of the tracks, but it's a record with ambient overtones that you luxuriate in really. similarly to a brian eno record that goes on for quite a long time with little variation, one just has to let "loop-finding-jazz-reco..."  [+]  Reply

"Devils & dust is Bruce springsteen's follow up to 2002's, the rising. Harking back to the acoustic sparseness of the, Nebraska, and, ghost of Tom Joad, albums, although there is a lot more band instrumentation this time around. The title track, is excellent, and the best song on the album. It's k..."  [+]  Reply
