"He basically recorded a bunch of demos and handed them into Atlantic records as his new album. The reason being that the material was so personal for him he holed up at home for a while knocking these out. I'm fine with that as long as the song ideas are flushed out well -- but "raw cut" doesn't ..." [+] Reply

"Calexico is one of those bands, that nobody usually knows about (fully undeservedly). Their music is a fusion of mexican and american folk motives, sometimes with post-rock flavour, songs are imbued with deep melancholy, which erupts through the latin-american dancing rhytmes.

"There's nothing I'd love more than to be over the moon about this record. It's good! Not great, but decent enough." Reply

"Nice stuff. Thelnoius Monk on the first 2 (pretty much similar tracks) and then Sonny Rollins on the rest. Not their best work but enjoyable nonetheless" Reply

"This is Fates Warning's most accessible album, but don't let that make you think it's either watered down or too mainstream. The group does the ultimate job of creating something musically profound yet listenable. 8 cuts and every on of them is deserving of the highest praise. Not a dog in sight ..." [+] Reply

"Noah and the Whale has never been an acclaimed band, their music is not out of this World, their lyrics are amazing but not too profound. But I hate people defining a band or an album on those parameters. In a particular time of my life, this was the only album I listen too, its easy and you can ..." [+] Reply

"Their 'first' self titled album is actually their UK debut record. There is a real energy here and Steve Marriot is on superb vocal form. Some great tracks here, all served up with Gusto and passion, oh, and anyone who thinks that Led Zeppelin's, whole lotta love, is an original piece of work rea..." [+] Reply
