"The album that got me into the charlatans in a big way. They finally hit their stride with this, a big improvement on the previous realeases, and self titled the album as a sign of it, somethink not often done on for a 4th album. The 3 albums that followed it were better but this is still a great..."  [+]  Reply

"The ballads on this album get really mushy, especially on the banal "Photograph" ("When it gets hard/You know it can get hard sometimes/ is the only thing that makes us feel alive") and the cliche-riddled "Thinking Out Loud" (Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars), but when Ed wishes to bra..."  [+]  Reply

"As a fan of Earl since the Odd Future days, I didn't think he was capable of releasing anything less than great. Even on Feet of Clay, there were plenty of high moments within it's short run-time. As much as I've tried to get into this record, and respect it for what it is — an artist finding pea..."  [+]  Reply

"These guys are good. These guys are very good. The debut album by Walk The Moon really shows that these guys are something special. There is good variety throughout the album and all of the songs are artfully crafted both musically and lyrically. The upbeat songs are fun to listen to and the slow..."  [+]  Reply

"I was able to find a nice copy of this album recently. This was popularized on KSHE 95 radio back in the day and they still play Pavlov’s Dog from time to time. This is a great listen."  Reply

"I'm not a big fan of The Swans but on this side project, Michael Gira is at his best and the "country" tracks here sound even more ominous and dark than on his main bands heaviest darkest song. On most of the tracks he takes his time to arrive at a satisfying and in many case manic ending. The hi..."  [+]  Reply
