"This may seem unfairly reductive, but Laura Marling is at her best when she conjures peak-era Joni Mitchell. She does that here with just a touch of punk attitude. Interestingly, it looks like this will be her lowest-rated album very soon. It's my favorite."  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

"Epic Viking Metal album. Very important for the genre. I hear dust of guitar sound that falls with violence from the Valhalla to the ground, surrounded by melody. Listen to it! It's like to read a Scandinavian epic/fantasy novel (a good one)"  Reply

"Not as good as, Truth, but an enjoyable and raw album. Beck is on fire here but overall the record doesn't have the coherence of it's predecessor. Still a gritty little rock'n'roll album though."  Reply

"Almost blue, is Elvis Costello's country covers album. It certainly fun to listen to, but it doesn't sound very authentic. It sounds like what it is, a bunch of English guys playing American country songs. Best of the bunch is, good year for the roses, a top ten U.K. hit in 1981. Other standouts ..."  [+]  Reply

"Opening track, In The Morning I'll Be Better, is beautiful. Naturally it's downhill from there, but there are still some nice tracks to follow - my other highlights being My Emotions are Blinding and Please Don't Ruin This For Me."  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
