"Lyle Lovett makes another record of his trademark mix of jazzy western swing, coffee house ballads, and clever lyrics. Not quite as good as the previous outing but highly enjoyable. Recommended especially for those looking for something that sounds original."  Reply

"Good ol’ Bruno Mars. The man has an amazing voice and is all over the world of pop and hip-hop music. You can always tell a song is going to be popular if it features Bruno Mars or if it is co-written by him. The popular music community just seems to love this guy and you know what? I love him to..."  [+]  Reply

"THE TROUBLE WITH DESIRE Somewhere else in the universe - exactly where I do not know - there is a planet and civilization not unlike our own. They’re busy with jobs and making ends meet mostly. But they are also vastly curious about life and various philosophical questions. Chiefly, they ponder w..."  [+]  Reply

"It's not the Misfits we all love, but come on, Scream, Fiend Club, Dust to Dust, Saturday Night and Helena are all great tunes! Just put aside the fact that Jerry is a complete douche, and you'll see it's worth a listen. "If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs, would you still love me anywa..."  [+]  Reply

"This is quickly becoming my favorite Kozelek album since the first two Red House Painters albums. His songwriting has changed quite a lot since those years, and his storytelling ability may be showcased better than ever here. I find myself hanging on to every word. Few albums have captured my att..."  [+]  Reply

"Quite pleasant little album with little cuatro guitar and Estrada's competent vocals. compositions can sometimes go a bit awry with instrumental backing just interrupting the songs, but in at least one case, Carta, they're added remarkably well and pull off a really satisfying song build."  Reply

"Another fine Rod Stewart record. Gasoline alley, is not quite as consistent or as good as, every picture, but it features some fine songs. Only a hobo, cut across shorty and the title track are the pick of the bunch. Earthy, you can almost smell the smoke from the chimneys. Good stuff."  Reply

"I can't help but echo the obvious and say there is undeniably a huge 90s Death-Row/calli influence on this record... however that's not a complaint in the slightest. It mixes it's somewhat retro-sounding but still excellent production with a voice that brutally, cogently expresses the anger of th..."  [+]  Reply
