"This is fucking good. They personally set a new level for Belgian and Dutch indie/alternative bands and apparantly are able to reach this level themselves and even put it a little higher with Fever. Best tracks: Never gonna let you down, Wrong Vibration."  Reply

"Back to E's very own brand of bummer rock, which is the Eels I like best, and that reminds me more of my favourite Eels album, Electro Shock Blues. It is a little up and down, but for me it's a cracking listen and right up there in the top 3 or 4 albums of there's."  Reply

"I haven't done it, but this is, what I imagine an ayahuasca experience sounds like. Disintegration, processing, then life-affirming reintegration. The second half of the album very much reminds of me of what King Gizzard specializes in, I have no doubt they own the rare first pressing."  Reply

"Rouse uses the sonic textures of the year of his birth as the basis for 1972. Specifically, he doesn’t draw so much on the fringe genres such as Black Sabbath’s heavy metal or Yes’ symphonic progressive rock, but on the mainstream soft rock that dominated AM radio, such as Carole King, The Carpen..."  [+]  Reply

"I meant they were like the equivalent of The Beatles in Australia for a short time, which is a compliment. They were obviously influenced by them (just look at how they dressed), but of course they did their own thing."  Reply

"Really feels like they're just going through the motions now. Their music isn't bad yet, but I fear the day they take the plunge. Overall, a pretty dull experience. Which is weird to say considering their albums are always intense in a very gratifying way."  Reply

"Ol Damo might look like a homeless hobo these days being holed up in Iceland living as a crazy hermit yet on this album he still somehow manages to climb off the park bench and newspaper blankets to give us a better than ok album. Warning! It’s slow and atmospheric and a bit of a snooze feast in ..."  [+]  Reply

"Gets far far far too much shit. Its a solid, enjoyable 3.5 star sort of album but because they have a history of 5 star and 4.5 star caliber stuff people act as though this thing is some sort of 0 star abomination. Its a pretty good effort for a band this deep into their career."  Reply
