"Okay, most "chillwave" is uninspired drivel, but this album is an exception. Clocking in at about 30 minutes, this album never drags on longer than it needs to be. Very fun, summery vibes all around."  Reply

"Brilliant album with a strong influence on punk and "Whiskey Woman" in it. "...what the Rolling Stones would have sounded like if they'd sworn their allegiance to the sound and style of Sun Records instead of Chess Records" (Miriam Linna) "...the Groovies' alternate--universe version of Sticky Fi..."  [+]  Reply

"Linkin Park are back to the old roots now! Hooray! Though I still did like some of their electronic rock music. This is definitely their strongest point. Pretty good album and quite frankly I think it's their best since Meteora. Good work Linkin Park!"  Reply

"There isn't anybody in hip-hop (or any other genre, for that matter) who puts words together like Roc Marciano. And the production is surprisingly experimental - I don't remember a hip-hop album on which the drums were less prominent than they are here. Anyone who dismisses Roc Marciano as a Mobb..."  [+]  Reply

"There's some real innovation originality and beauty on here. Whisper in the night is gorgeous Roy wood song. First movement is entertaining. Mr radio has a curious appeal. 10538 is a classic Some I skipped forever more after first listen. Battle of marston moor, queen of the hours etc."  Reply

"I saw Earth live at the release of 2014's Primitive and Dealy. When they played a song from The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (the title track iirc), Dylan Carlson introduced it: "This is a song off our most popular album...though still not a hit. It was also our most popular with the ladie..."  [+]  Reply

"Interesting album for sure! Some might say underrated? Nothing groundbreaking here but it's interesting indie rock that captures your attention with the details. I imagine some folks can find stuff to hate on here (mainly vocally). I don't usually care for this genre but they threw in enough vari..."  [+]  Reply

"Up tempo garage rock. Short sharp feel good tracks. What you expect from a Hives album. Another one of two tracks like 'Diabolic Scheme' would be good, as the change of pace gives the album a break from just having one speed and makes the tracks that follow it more enjoyable. Great album. I like it."  [+]  Reply
