"Lovely album, especially, telephone and rubber band(I first heard it in the Australian movie, Malcolm), help to make this a beautifully unique album. Great stuff." Reply
"I was pleasantly surprised by Waxahatchee's last album after not caring at all for Cerulean Salt. So, I didn't know what to expect. That in mind, this has to be her best record yet. Nary a subpar track on the record. Give it a listen, for sure." Reply

"It will certainly be on many best-of-2025 lists, and deservedly so. I'm amazed, great songs, and I love the singer's voice." 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

"I like this album quite a bit. it's certainly not very standard for the Decemberists. In fact, if you told me that this was an unearthed Colin Meloy synth-pop project from 1985 I wouldn't be all that surprised. "Once In My Life" in fact reminds me of Talk Talk's 1984 hit "It's My Life" (partly be..." [+] Reply

"I clearly recall my sister got this album ( vinyl of course) for Christmas 1980. I’d never heard of Flowers and the how who and why she got this album under tree really is one of life’s mysteries considering we grew up in regional Australia in a time there was no internet and the local radio was ..."

"I fail to see why this album is maligned by so many. This is the missing link between blues and hard rock....and Muddy's rendition of Let's Spend the Night Together is absolutely scorching." Reply

"One time my favorite Beck, superb record." Reply
"A really good hip hop record. Some really good tracks on here. But not my favorite Gang Starr album. It feels like they were going for a more hardcore sound than their previous records which makes sense being released in 94. Some of the tracks I find skippable. That being said, Mass Appeal, Blowi..." [+] Reply

"My boyfriend suggested that I download this, after he got me into bands like Led Zeppelin, The Stones, and Van Halen this year. The songs themselves are mostly good -- "Pride and Joy;" "Shake My Tree;" and "Absolution Blues" in particular. None of these songs are total stinkers, per se. The probl..." [+] Reply
