"Sounding like a demon fronting New Order, Future Islands 'In Evening Air' was one of the truly magical products of the early 2010s" Reply

"So this is a really good funk record. I dont need vocals. Deserves a much better rating." Reply

"An interesting detour for one of the greatest bands. Black Sabbath was a great force with multiple singers including Ian Gillan. This album is heavy and short and kicks ass. It doesn’t have that signature hit but it’s sum is greater than its parts." Reply

"Probably the weakest of Wishbone Ash's first five albums since it steers a bit away from the immaculate guitar work that makes this band so special, but it's still a high quality record worth checking out. Plenty of fun rock and roll on this record, though no songs truly stand out as among the ba..." [+] 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
"A fine representation of what the group sounded like "live". Containing most of their classic material this is a must have record for any fan of the Band." 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

"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
"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

"Possibly Sloan's heaviest album. While I love Patrick's power pop, and here he has his signature song, "Money City Maniacs", this was the album where Andrew Scott truly shines. "Sinking Ships", "Seems So Heavy", and "On The Horizon" are the three best tracks, all penned by Scott." Reply
