"This is a nice, light, smooth jazz album with just a piano and guitar. Interestingly, the album artwork looks like it belongs to an early 2010s metal album, cool photography and graphic design choices (e.g. lack of text) which are somewhat uncharacteristic of the early 1960s. This might be my fav..."  [+]  Reply

"I may need to give this more time, but right now, it's a bit underwhelming. And look, following up Psychic--an album whose greatness has only become clearer with time--was always going to be a daunting, if not insurmountable task. But setting aside how it stacks up to its predecessor, Spiral is a..."  [+]  Reply

"Well this album is criminally underrated (or more accurately, probably overlooked). Maybe I'm biased because it's the best album by my favorite band. I used to think Bloodletting was their best album, but I was wrong. Every track here is gold. The only "weakness", if you want to call it that, is ..."  [+]  Reply

"The epitome of a front-loaded album. This thing runs out of gas right around the middle of track five, but those first four tracks are really something else entirely. Shoot the Runner (and its video) are outstanding. The strings at the end of Me Plus One are pretty standout as well. This is proba..."  [+]  Reply

"I got 7 of Sleater-Kinney's albums in one fell swoop a few years ago and this is the one I always come back to. It has a relentless energy that drives it on until just when you're starting to feel a little punch drunk it wraps you up in the beautifully delicate closer "The Swimmer". I was very su..."  [+]  Reply
