"A brilliant album from Richard Hawley. Standing at the sky's edge, was a pleasant surprise upon release. It sees Hawley embracing a psychedelic sound, full of drony guitar rock. It was totally unexpected and is a brilliant record showing us how capable Hawley is making superb leftfield turns. Sta..." [+] Reply
"An absolute atomic bomb of a debut, Street Worms represents Viagra Boys in their purest form, before they started mixing genres and more overtly political messages into their music (Welfare Jazz and Cave World respectively). There's nothing wrong with any of that, of course, if the songs are exce..." [+] Reply

""A Question of Balance" from 1970 was my first Moody Blues album, which I bought while it was still on the charts. It was first and foremost the single "Question" I had noticed in the radio. After purchasing the album, I hated to admit to myself that the other tracks did not live up to my hopes a..." [+] Reply
"The songwriting is solid, and the vocal harmonizing is lovely, but this album kindof sounds like a couple of songwriters who don't know anything about country trying to do country. The country and folk stylings just feel a little fake, which makes the whole album a little less enjoyable than it c..." [+] Reply
"It’s an awfully bold statement, “Save Rock And Roll", especially coming from Fall Out Boy. If I had to pick a band to “save rock and roll", it most likely would not be Fall Out Boy, a band that has been the absolute definition of mediocrity, a band that hasn’t been able to stop writing the same s..."

"If you want songs of love, longing and loss, they are here in spades. If you want some social commentary, check that box as well. Billy Bragg seemed to have invented his own genre with his early work. Pure, honest, emotional and poetic. In a word, "perfect"." Reply
"While Presto isn’t one of the band’s most triumphant records, it’s proof that even lower tiered Rush records are worth the listen and have their share of highlights. The band tries their hand with ideas not usually associated with their core sound like funk grooves, tribal drum patterns, and soft..." [+] Reply

"Toad the Wet Sprocket is one of those perfect artists for the void left between Kurt's passing and "what came next". Tortured, introspective, conflicted and yet melodic, i'd consider this alternative album near-great if not for the over-extended, non-hooky closing dirge. If you want a good exampl..." [+] Reply
