"I cannot believe I am the first to add this album. I hope that I have introduced this great album to people that otherwise wouldn't have heard it. It doesn't have all original material, but what it has is amazing: Would by Alice in Chains, Drown by the Smashing Pumpkins, State of Love and Trust B..."  [+]  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.

"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

"Just when you think Masterpiece Theatre would be the crowning achievement of Mariana's Trench's career, out came Ever After. Every song is a highlight. No joke. I love how all the tracks flow together (some more smoothly than others. The best transfer is from Toy Solders to B-Team while the one f..."  [+]  Reply

"Everybody should own a Pastels' album. Stephen Pastel is such a great front man. I remember travelling through to Paisley to see the Pastels. We were all so excited at the prospect. It was a great night. We all bought Pastels badges to wear."  Reply
