"I think this is The Pretty Things best album, alongside "SF Sorrow". This is a concept album of sorts, it's the anti-Sgt. Pepper. It has a dark pessimistic mood that incapsulates the late sixties decadence of inner cities."  Reply

"On the group's sixth album Ten Years After are trying to renew their sound and approach - primarily with spacey intros and outros and a more widespread use of the acoustic guitar. Generally, though, it is the familiar formula: a little bit of blues, a little bit rock 'n roll and a couple ballads...."  [+]  Reply

"Bit of a mixed bag, but the hype was certainly worth it. Most tracks are great, a couple of them are downright brilliant (212, Chasing Time, Miss Camaraderie). Azealia manages to push boundaries of hip-hop and dance-pop with her own unique flow & sharp beats. The coolest, freshest album of the year."  Reply

"It\'s a good 3 disc offering, but could\'ve been a great one if whittled down to 2 CDs or even 1 of the best stuff. Emancipation represents the new prince sound that he\'d carry on with varying subtle flavors going forward. You\'ve heard this sound in small quantities on diamonds and pearls, 0(+>..."  [+]  Reply

"Whilst 1977’s ‘(I’m) Stranded’ is the one they’ll be remembered for their best album is up for debate and ‘Eternally Yours’ is certainly in the conversation By the time 1978 came around for The Saints much had happened in the proceeding 12 months including relocation from sleepy Brisbane to the U..."  [+]  Reply

"I absolutely adore the production on this album; the industrial noise has very limited variety in terms of tone but is incredibly hard hitting. There are tracks where it drags on a little too long, but for me the noise never overstays it's welcome. The rapping is a little underwhelming and the ly..."  [+]  Reply

"For me this is comfortably album of the decade so far . Rich, varied and complex compositions with production and mixing par excellence. Kamasi and his cohorts have made sublime stuff here and it's possibly the finest jazz release of the century."  Reply

""December's Children" was a U.S. only album that only in a few cases collided with the European releases, and for this reason the record was / is particularly interesting for Stones collectors. The music is somewhat a mixed bag, consisting of EP tracks and singles. A few numbers were already a ye..."  [+]  Reply
