"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

"Listening to this was one of the most eye-popping moments in recent memory. For me I mean. I always had a very specific idea of Ochs. I thought of him as the poor man's Dylan - protest songs, some sweet melodies and sad ones too, and some nice acoustic guitar. As a matter of fact it got to the po..."  [+]  Reply

"I adored Chat Pile's first few EPs at the end of the last decade, but their widely-acclaimed 2022 debut God's Country was a little stale for me, as they lost their early urgency with some unadventurous instrumental work. Not so here; the band's songwriting is brilliantly intoxicating, as nightmar..."  [+]  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

"For me, this is Dream Theater’s most underrated album. In my eyes, it doesn’t carry the title “Dream Theater” by accident. This record is a masterpiece and a statement: this is who we are — Dream Theater! It’s incredibly elaborate in both composition and production — with orchestral and classical..."  [+]  Reply
