"Beautifully arranged (perhaps second only to the Carpenters), wonderfully harmonized and evocative in its celebration of childhood - an essential LP for big kids and their little kids too. I'm totally and utterly hooked by this sunshine-pop masterpiece, and if your mind is wired in a similar way ..."  [+]  Reply

"Some of the strongest songs he ever wrote are on here, but also some of his most bland songs are on here, which makes it his weakest album so far. The upbeat funk songs make the album, the slow songs drag it down. He writes great slow songs too, but most of them on this album drag the album as a ..."  [+]  Reply

"I still gave this a 50 because, as always, the music is fantastically arranged, but GOD these lyrics are a complete joke. Considering one of the world's greatest poets decided to make an album consisting of cliche religious flash words and phrases you can hear at any Sunday mass, I would consider..."  [+]  Reply

"This is not the original track listing, but the 10th anniversary edition listing. On the original rease in 1994, substitute Thank You for The Rain Song. Thank You was the second track on the original album."  Reply

"Good album. Best 10 songs average is 83,3/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Quite uneven album, songs from great to poor, but ok this is interesting at least. Far and away best song is "You'll follow me down" great 95/100, followed by "Lately" and "Secretly" both good 85/100. All other songs..."  [+]  Reply

"The low-end, minimalist production is perhaps Marauder's greatest strength. It gives the album a wholly original sound, making it the band's most unique sounding record since 2007's Our Love to Admire. The biggest issue is that the album cannot keep up the intensity established by the dance-punk ..."  [+]  Reply

"Brilliant and unique album by Armand Hammer. The instrumentals are dark, raw, and slow. The lyrics are thought provoking and have a nice sense of humor. It won't be for everybody, but if you're looking for something unique amond the other Hip Hop albums of 2018, give Paraffin by Armand Hammer a try."  [+]  Reply
