"Warm, open-hearted, and playful...I don't know if Rahsaan was like that, but he must have been; his music is. It's imaginative and care-free, not avant-garde or cutting edge. Feel-good music from a guy who can pull that off; it's a shame so many people can't get into it, judging by the ratings, b..."  [+]  Reply

"Before Pearl Jam, there was Mother Love Bone. Fronted by flamboyant singer Andrew Wood who died shortly before the scheduled release of "Apple", Mother Love Bone was a part of the local Seattle scene. They had that something extra that led them to be the first local band to sign with a major labe..."  [+]  Reply

"On Reflection, Time To Kill and His Last Voyage are among my favorite GG songs. Those three songs are all amazing and all very different from one another. Gentle Giant has a way of always surprising you and proposing new ways to do songs. I think "Free Hand" is one of their best albums because it..."  [+]  Reply

"Her most consistent and fully realised project to date. It's a grey-on-pink, Star Trek sci-fi meets Drag Race camp whirlwind, with a sound completely in love with the early 90s. Gaga arrived blazing into the pop world preaching self love and expression; now, however, she's turned that message on ..."  [+]  Reply

"What I'm most impressed with on this is that many electronic albums have a repetitive base upon which they build... I never felt that way with this - the dynamics and unique beats/samples, etc. were seemingly so effortlessly mixed together, yet were masterful."  Reply

"Definitely an artist I want to throw into rotation more. Absolutely love Rounds so I was excited for more Four Tet albums. Pause is still taking me a while to get into, it's super ambient compared to Rounds which is fine but I'm rarely in the mood for something that ambient. With that being said ..."  [+]  Reply

"Good album. Best 10 songs average is 86,2/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Besides good and very good songs are also some slight below-average songs included. However I like Offspring anyway. Best song is "Gone away" 95/100, closely followed by "Me & my old lady" and "Amazed" both 90/100 an..."  [+]  Reply
