"Green Day, after two busy records, finally took its time to relax and make a LP about CARPE DIEM. It resulted good, not perfect nor its best but an enjoyable album :). #9 best album of 2012`s"  Reply

"Compared to the EPs and singles that they released in the four years prior to this, it is a bit of a disappointment. I adored everything they did up until this album, I hadn't been as excited about a new band in a long time. The sound doesn't quite have the same magic of those first songs they wr..."  [+]  Reply

"An essential masterpiece that captures Ornette's Prime Time early peak as a psychedelic jamming unit. They developed and transformed this beautiful music throughout the 70's and 80's and delivered Body Meta (Check out the deeply hypnotic opening track Voice Poetry) and Of Human Feelings, probably..."  [+]  Reply

"When I think of indie supergroups that work well, I think of the new pornographers, a group that combined the indie pop of a.c. newman, the country folk of neko case and the abstract indie avant of dan bejar and threw together a new indie power rock pop entity (with tons of energy replete with wa..."  [+]  Reply

"Along with “Sweetheart of the Rodeo” this album is the most country-influeced album in the Byrds catalogue. But whereas “Sweetheart” tends to lean on classical country, “Ballad of Easy Rider” shows a much broader approach. This greater variety in styles, plus overall stronger material, makes this..."  [+]  Reply

"They probably did the blues better than any other glam rock hair band in the 80s. The follow up to this album was a straight up blues album but this one held on to the stadium glam of its predecessor Night Songs. This album encapsulates the band perfectly and is their best release."  Reply

"(A solid, if somewhat sterile to my ears, Notwist album. Some nice warm and peaceful indie songs with electronic elements.) It's nice to get reacquainted with The Notwist. I had Neon Golden in my CD player a lot back in the day, never delved into their earlier stuff nor their later stuff and just..."  [+]  Reply
