"An absolutely bonkers LP. Andrew Lloyd Webber meets Bruce Springsteen in this wonderfully bombastic and over the top album. It's incredibly theatrical, a kind of rock'n'roll musical all about love, sex and having a whale of a time. The title track is off course the most famous song here but, for ..." [+] Reply

"Sounds like this band had a great time putting this record together. Kind of has a surfer vibe to it - but on steroids. And "Cannonball" is a flat out great song." Reply

"MGMT back on form, as they present us with a series of catchy, weird, synth-tinged tunes. This album may be kind of weird, but this is their most accessible outing since their 2008 debut. Best Songs: Little Dark Age, When You Die, One Thing Left to Try, When You're Small, Hand It Over" Reply

"An attack on hippiedom. We're only it in for the money, has some wonderful moments, but as a whole it flatters to deceive. Considering that a lot of the artists they aim to tear down are making music much cleverer and original than the Mothers are at this point kind of makes a mockery of an album..." [+] Reply

"Okay, yeah, I know, I know, "Lorde is pop and pop is the devil". For the most part, I agree with you, hypothetical BEA member. Pop is, generally, not even good on accident. Modern pop is the cantina from Star Wars: a wretched hive of scum and villainy; but even among the weird aliens and that one..." [+] Reply

"Rumors was an incredibly focused, accessible, and well written album. Most of Fleetwood Mac's fanbase undoubtedly came from that album for those reasons. Tusk has the misfortune of being the followup to Rumors, and was specifically designed to turn the Rumors formula on its head, while still maki..." [+] Reply

"It hasn't aged well, sounding a little dated today. However, at the time, PE dragged hip-hop kicking and screaming forward into a more relevant age. What cutting lyrics and what thunderous sounds. Modern hip-hop has improved upon this, but PE is to hip-hop what Buddy Holly is to rock and roll. Of..." [+] Reply
