"With 'Boces' (the follow-up to their debut masterpiece, 'Yerself Is Steam') Mercury Rev's Dave Fridmann and Jonathan Donahue have proven to be arguably the most creative artists to have emerged on the scene since Mayo Thompson. Beautiful pastoral sounds of the flute merge with sonic collages, fre..."  [+]  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

"Good rock and roll/hard rock/punk rock album. Best 10 songs average is 79,7/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Album has some lows, especially in the middle. Best songs are "Candy" and "Pussy power" both 85/100, followed by "Home" and "Livin' on the edge..." both 80/100."  Reply

"Track listing on this is different to the original copy I have. Left off this are two fantastic key tracks 'Choppers' & 'Mr Moon'. But apart from that, this is a great band and album. A style all of there own with dual vocals of Chris Matthews and Fiona McDonald giving it a wide range of variety...."  [+]  Reply

"This is a massive work - clocking around 6.5 hours! - by improvisation master Jarrett. It is hard listening to it in one go due to its enormous length but the music in it is all worth it, so go for it. I've been listening to this throughout the week - one or two tracks per day - usually at nightt..."  [+]  Reply

"On this website, Counting Crows album's get ranked progressively worse in chronological order and it completely makes sense. Each album sounds like the last in it's instruments and vocal delivery. This Desert Life has a similar spirit as the debut and is a tighter album than Recovering the Satell..."  [+]  Reply

"There is something just really mesmerizing about this album. It has moments of being pretty straight forward rock. There are also a lot of really emotional and gorgeous atmospheric parts. There is something so gorgeously sincere about Jenn Wasner's vocals. I just feel like I know and understand h..."  [+]  Reply

"Unlikely to be the AnCo album to convince non-fans, and probably won't be a personal favourite for many fans either, but it contains loads of what the band had done well in the past. How much you will enjoy it, probably depends on a few things. One, what you think of that recurring vocal trick th..."  [+]  Reply

"Many fans of metal, myself included, see an obvious connection between metal and orchestral music. This is a great experiment in actually merging the two. It doesn't always work, but when it does it's fantastic. "Outlaw Torn" and "Bleeding Me" are two that standout as working especially well. The..."  [+]  Reply
