United States Hum
"22 years in the making! Huge surprise finding out about this comeback album by Hum. It's really good! Its a more epic version of themselves. Like a darker more progressive version of themselves."  Reply

"20 fucking years. Two decades of American Football's eponymous debut album pioneered the mid-west emo. AF developed a melancholic style backed up by arpeggios and a melodic play with a technicity close to math-rock. The band led by Mike Kinsella exploded in 1999 after this magnificent first recor..."  [+]  Reply

"'91:6 The Marionettes aka Speedballing Down The Interstate I’m just telling you what I remember. It’s not much. Mostly a blur. A memory of a memory. Faded and bleached. By the years. By the drugs too, I guess. But mostly by the years. It was 1991. I was young. Headed off to Manhattan to conquer t..."  [+]  Reply

"Billy Joel's last pop/rock album, and after the dip in quality of his last two records, Joel ends his songwriting career with his best album for well over a decade. River of dreams, has a harder rock edge than all of Joel's albums since his new wave contribution, glass houses. No man's land, kick..."  [+]  Reply

"I’m struggling to understand why this album was so poorly received, sure it’s no “I’m Wide Awake” and there a couple of duds in the track list but it’s still a very strong work. Songs like Dance and Sing, Mariana Trench, Pan and Broom, Persona Non Grata, Tilt-a-Whirl, and To Death's Heart rank as..."  [+]  Reply

"Painted from memory, is an ambitious collobaration with celebrated songwriter Burt Bacharach, but Elvis Costello does admirably, especially vocally, it's probably his best vocal performance of his career. Lyrically, he's on form, but sometimes the lyrics sound a bit too clever for their own good...."  [+]  Reply
