"Little Love Affairs is Nanci Griffith's sixth album and her second on major label MCA. The rollicking folk accompaniment from the Philo records was scrapped on the MCA debut "Lone Star State of Mind" in favor for a more Nashville-friendly sound. Despite their best mainstreaming intentions, that r..."  [+]  Reply

"The ultimate travesty is that this band is remembered for one song (Sex and Candy). When their entire debut is made up of whimsical stories and memorable songs from the wonderful mind of John Wozniak, who is a criminally underrated songwriter. This album deserves multiple listens and respect."  Reply

"Consolidating the work done on the first album, The Vaccines Come Of Age is another collection of dumb, fun, rock 'n' roll (take note Animal Collective & Grizzly Bear) SONGS. Sure, the boys are hardly the most innovative kids on the block but the new album is a welcome shot in the arm just as roc..."  [+]  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

"Her musical sensibility is impeccable and she turns out great melodies. This album just sounds amazing. Lyrically, there's a playfulness to her songs that hearkens to 60/70s female country artists. She does fall back on clever phrases a bit too often, but her lyrics have matured overall. Give her..."  [+]  Reply

"This could almost be a Greatest Hits release by one of the all-time most underrated bands, The Beautiful South. There are some oustanding tracks to keep you interested but the others will start to grown on you too with each re-listen."  Reply

"Along with, only the lonely, this is my favourite Frank Sinatra album. The brilliant record cover says it all, it's a light night alone LP. A cottage for sale, stormy weather, and, why try to change me now, are all highlights. A wonderful album, with Sinatra at the peak of his powers. Excellent."  Reply
