"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

"Album Rating: 76.09 (837/11) Perfume Genius (Glory - USA - Mar 25) - Glory 28.03.2025 Another very good Perfume Genius album, albeit one that once again hits the mid-70s without ever endangering the decade chart. Rubber boots on an escalator. Album highlight 'Dion' tells the story of that broken ..." [+] Reply
"Essentially more of the same from one of the better contemporary post-punk bands. Does little to expand upon their forceful debut." Reply

"Yes it’s over very quickly, but my God, who could withstand much more adrenaline soaked sonic brutality! The best record ever crafted to whip young men into a bloodthirsty frenzy." 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
"Minimal techno, the way it should be." Reply
""Nicely Out of Tune" was Lindisfarne's 1970 debut-album. Lindisfarne's music is catchy folk-inspired music; maybe it could be described as a British version of Lovin' Spoonful's good-time music. Lovin' Spoonful had John Sebastian and Lindisfarne had Alan Hull; both great singers and songwriters. ..." [+] Reply
"One of my all-time favourite albums and I can't understand why others don't think it a classic as well. It's a fusion of pop, reggae, funk, soul, jazz and electronica and despite being 40 years old still sounds fresh and undated. Listen to those first beats/bars of 'Asylums In Jerusalem' and tell..."

"There was some mild controversy going into this release, I guess, but ultimately the only thing striking while listening to it was the general indifference of nearly everything here. There was some buzz about bringing Rostam into the mix, but all that seemed to aid the production was with hammeri..." [+] Reply
