"Very impressed! Got a hard rock sound, quite jagged and a nice melancholy left the nightingale singer. 'Maybe Memories' had me hooked with riffs is deadly as falling steel but never sustained that all the way. Only 'A Box Full of Sharp Objects' stands taller than that track. Not bad the rest is. ..."  [+]  Reply

"8 January 2014 Boy, top to bottom this thing is very solid. At times this record just thrills. There is a sense of joy and rediscovery that comes from the band and Bob throughout, and this energy makes it all the more excellent of a listen. The playing is just pure energy on the rock tracks and t..."  [+]  Reply

"Damn, this is quite the religious album. Jay Electronica and Jay-Z rapping a lot about being Black Israelites. The production is amazing beginning to end, but the lyrics aren't always the most engaging. Highlight for me is Shiny Suit Theory."  Reply

"After two great records, this is the point the wheels were coming off the wagon. Home Sweet Home is undeniable, Louder Than Hell is the second best track, but wasn't good enough to make Shout. Other than that, there is filler all over the place. This is Mötley Crüe's St Anger."  Reply

"O'Rourke is like an abstract painter that only focuses on surreal realism. The amount of talent on here can be dissected evenly between the exquisite lyrics & application to the musicality."  Reply

"Buddy really nailed it with this one and helped usher in yet another blues revival. His singing and playing are both so full of soul and expression and the production is crystal clear. Magnificent modern blues album!"  Reply

"I'm surprised this EP hadn't been added before. It's a nice collection of songs to play after the original In Rainbows. Favorite songs: "Down is the New Up", "Bangers + Mash", "4 Minute Warning". The last one is actually one of my all-time favorite Radiohead songs. It should've been included in t..."  [+]  Reply

"I've been listening to Megadeth for a long time and this might be my favorite album of their's since Youthanasia. Adler's drumming is superb and Kiko plays some very technical but tasteful guitar leads. Mustaine still writes great riffs and occasionally an extremely well crafted song (see The Thr..."  [+]  Reply

"Blakey and Monk go together perfectly. The melodic playing of Blakey, the percussive playing of Monk, the soulful funkiness of Johnny Griffin, they're all working on the same bebop wavelength--high energy music, but with so much space and silence left in. The interplay between the musicians here ..."  [+]  Reply
