"This album has a LOT of filler (way more than The Wall), but when a song hits, it blows your mind. "Just Like You Imagined" may be the greatest rock instrumental ever made, and "Into the Void" is absolutely the crystal-clearest picture of the "depraved road". "La Mer", "Pilgrimage", "We're In Thi..."  [+]  Reply

"Probably the minority here, but I can't get enough of this album. I liked their first album, but think Congratulations is better. Can't wait to see them in concert this June!"  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 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

"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

"What a disappointment after Hot Fuss, which I found much better. It has two great songs (Read My Mind and When You Were Young), two good songs (Bones and For Reasons Unknwon) and the rest is utterly forgettable."  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

"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
