"Completely unique band - if you said to me a band put instrumentals over old public service announcements I'd say it'd be rubbish. But these guys make it work. This is my favourite album of theirs. My favourites are Night Mail, Lit Up, Everest and Late Night Final. The title track is a remix of a..." [+] Reply

"Definitely Sonic Youth's worst album. They just repeated the same formula they used on Dirty, but this time, they made it noisy and boring. There isn't much to say about most of the songs, they're mostly just forgettable and straight up boring. However there are a few gems in here: Bull In the He..." [+] Reply

"The 1st half is good despite Karma being formulaic. The 2nd half is dull cuz they're focused on a low-key R&B flavour that lacks vocal range and range for instruments themselves as well. Track pick: You Don't Know My Name." Reply

"Decent to good britpop. 5-10 points deducted as my enjoyment is tarnished by part of my brain constantly saying morrisey for the duration of play. Not an entirely original observation I'm sure. Some good songs here though." Reply

"The epitome of a front-loaded album. This thing runs out of gas right around the middle of track five, but those first four tracks are really something else entirely. Shoot the Runner (and its video) are outstanding. The strings at the end of Me Plus One are pretty standout as well. This is proba..." [+] Reply

"An absolute standout country record (probably more folk than country) from legendary Texas songwriter. He writes them here like no one else. Also check him out in the movie Heartworn Highways. He passed in 2016. Essential. Track Pick: Desperados Waiting for Train" Reply
