"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

"This album is an absolutely phenomenal effort from a band that has become one of my absolute favorite bands around today. Few bands to me have the musical and lyrical ability that The Avett Brothers to. They can write a catchy song that you’ll be singing for days and you’ll never even realize tha..."  [+]  Reply

"Aimee’s first solo record is lesser known than her later work, but, in terms of quality and consistency, I think it’s her second best (behind I’m With Stupid). High quality pop across the board, with the best songs the lovely ballad, “4th of July,” and the rockers “I Could Hurt You Now” and “Say ..."  [+]  Reply

"For some reason, this is one of the best Mars Volta albums in my opinion. Noctourniquet is the best song from this album. Other standout tracks are Aegis, Malkin Jewel, Empty Vessels, Zed and Two Naughts. If people would stop comparing every album Mars Volta have released to Deloused or Frances t..."  [+]  Reply

"I saw laurie in concert twice but this album actually captures the concert better than the actually concert, because there was so much going on on stage that I was a little distracted from the music. I still listen to this album and I always find something new that I hadn't heard before. The trac..."  [+]  Reply

"Billy Nicholls' response to The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, and while this isn't quite as good a record as Pet Sounds, it still is a very diverse and lovely album. Any fan of the Beach Boys should check this one out!"  Reply
