"'Mirror Man' is the sound of The Magic Band at it's most deliberately shambolic and free. Long 'live' rambling jams extend the notion of the Blues standard to its limits. Structurally, the Captain game-plays in the Delta tradition but adds theatrically satirical and infantile elements over a crea..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm not going to deny that this is a very pretty album. However, prettiness isn't enough to make this a great album. I liked it, but aside from a couple of tracks I think Alcest was playing it a bit too safe in terms of the songwriting."  Reply

"This was the 5th BtS release, but for me it was the follow-up to the album that blew me away and hooked me as a fan, 1999's "Keep it Like a Secret." So it's no surprise that this one was a disappointment and would fail to measure up in my eyes. Listening again several years later, it turns out it..."  [+]  Reply

"I really like this album. First studio album following 'Ace of Spades' was always a hard ask but I think they done a great job. Only a couple of songs on this are sub par but overall it still cracks at the full on pace you'd expect from Motorhead"  Reply

"One of the sensations of 2011, this LA-based band tick all the right boxes. Steeped in the psyche-garage tradition of the 60s, the band effortlessly merge a multitude of reference points from the past without their music ever sounding staid or derivative. Ditties reminiscent of Syd Barrett-era Pi..."  [+]  Reply

"Let's face it Hamilton Leithauser has got the sort of name that screams head of the IMF rather than kick-ass rock n roller but ...he manages to get away with it...just. Teaming up with Rostam from Vampire Weekend seems to have been a fortuitous experience with the songs being a more concise and c..."  [+]  Reply
