"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

"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

"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

"Good stuff here! It's like Wilco if they wore demin jackets and were angry but still didn't want to make a punk band. So the singer puts more venom in the voice and charges into the fray in his own confusion. I mean titles like 'Sweet Little Thing' and 'Slow Dancing' suggest nice little songs yet..."  [+]  Reply

"Their first album might be better overall, but it doesn't have "Blanch comme la neige/Perrine etait servante"..It is one of my most favorite album tracks of any genre, partly in french based on a 16th century tune, but perfectly arranged and captures a mood that I have never heard outsi..."  [+]  Reply

"I go through stages of being absolutely obsessed with this album. Currently in the middle of one of those stages. Marcus Miller's bass playing here is absolutely heavenly. The string and keyboard arrangements are so tight, acting as the perfect counterpoint to that slippery bass, whilst Vandross'..."  [+]  Reply

"S-K's amazing and best punk album. The riffs here are uniquely brilliant with Tucker and Brownstein inventing their unique way of interlocking vocals and guitar lines "Call the Doctor", "Hubcap" "Taste Test". Aggressive feminism tracks "I'm not Waiting" and 'Taking Me Home" really hot home. Macfa..."  [+]  Reply
