"Just when you think Masterpiece Theatre would be the crowning achievement of Mariana's Trench's career, out came Ever After. Every song is a highlight. No joke. I love how all the tracks flow together (some more smoothly than others. The best transfer is from Toy Solders to B-Team while the one f..."  [+]  Reply

"Musically 'smoother' and more refined, but equally as experimental and original as their debut 'Silver Apples Of The Moon', Laika create a form of "organic" electronica that is, for example, more authentic sounding than the music produced by one of their contemporaries, the overrated Moby. Overal..."  [+]  Reply

"This album has some really great moments. It kicks off with 5 really strong tracks in a row. Then we get some good sassy humor with songs like "Pink Sunglasses" and the really great "For the Birds." Those are my favorite kind of Miranda songs. It feels like there is some filler though, especially..."  [+]  Reply

"With many versions of the same songs, one would think that this album is going to be a slog, but in reality is one of the better improvisational rock albums ever. All of the improvisations go to places far beyond their original ideas, and the clear sense of progression between disc and disce make..."  [+]  Reply

Kaleidoscope World 
Compilation
"I actually own the original 8 track 12” release of ‘Kaleidoscope World’ on vinyl and it remained one of my all time favourites for a very long time. It wasn’t until much later on I discovered it was actually a compilation of early of EP’s and singles There’s actually 3 different versions of ‘Kale..."  [+]  Reply

"Bone shaking, earth shattering rock, but a little too repetitious. White and Mosshart both can write better material then this. The weakness of the songs ultimately resign this album to a B. Should be ranked higher than it is, though. Half the boring albums on 2010s chart are nowhere near as memo..."  [+]  Reply
