"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

""Black and White", the third Stanglers album, has the distinctive characteristics from the first two albums; the special organ-playing from Dave Greenfield, the heavy and often melodic bass lines from Jean-Jacques Burnel and, of course, Hugh Cornwell’s easily recognizable vocals.

"I really don't get how this can be the top TYA's album here. Maybe because of the hit "Love Like a Man"? It's not bad, but it's very hard rock oriented, has less of the typical TYA's style (jazzy rhythms, dark bluesy feel), and still Ssssh (which is also quite hard rock oriented) has more memorab..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a perfect example of how Blakey can spot a good composition, make it swing, and get his soloists to attack it with both cohesiveness and verve. While most Blakey albums are memorable for Blakey himself, and he's in fine form here, it's really the brass in the front like that steals the sh..."  [+]  Reply

"Some of the greatest American musicians have been, primarily, bandleaders. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Bob Wills, James Brown, Zappa, George Clinton, this guy. He's playing with the tone colors that his musicians can put together, layering combinations, and keeping it shifting. In 1968, a lot of..."  [+]  Reply

"K.M’s most accomplished and complete record yet demonstrating a mastery of his musical craft he’s been slowly building towards for the past five years. Clearly this is his “Breakup Album” seemingly parting ways with long time partner Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee"  Reply
