""yeyeyeyeyeyeyeeeyeyeeaah... the creator has a maaasterplaan".. This is so cheesy I can't help but laugh.. But then he starts yodeling and the music gets all frantic and awesome while still basically jumping between two notes. It's pretty great." 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

"Not so sure as of right now. It kinda blends together, but also, I really dig that. It's a very large collection of songs, each one with something to set it apart. I really dig the atmosphere, and even though I don't think this will top their debut, I'm really happy they're back." Reply

"I typically don't like to consider compilations as proper albums and avoid putting them in my charts, but for this and Hatful of Hollow, I make an exception. Most of these tracks don't show up on any of the Smiths' studio releases, so might as well rate it as any other album." Reply

"This whole album is an accurate narrative of a crazy drug trip. First the fun rush (Feel Good Hit of the Summer), then the horny feeling (Auto Pilot), the height of the trip where the world starts spinning (Better Living Through Chemistry), the slow fallout along with a second wind (In the Fade),..."

"A New York indie album of its time through and through. It's all there; Television's spooling guitar lines, the nervous energy of the Talking Heads, The Lou Reed (and occasionally Iggy Pop) vocal inflections, and more than a hint of the 60s freak folk that kicked all this off." Reply

"Live at Leeds, is quite rightly regarded as one of the great live albums. It's The Who at the top of their game, when all four members were at the peak of their powers, Moon, at his powerhouse best, Entwistle, totally on it as a stunning bass player, Townshend, finally showing his potential as a ..."

"Released as an Outkast album, it's the Boi on one disc and Andre on the other. And while Andre scored the biggest hit "hey ya!" that everyone from your grandma to your grandson loves, Boi delivers the most consistent goods throughout his disc. Favorites on disc 1 are the hyper-frenetic "ghettomus..." [+] Reply

"This is a brilliant commentary on society in the 60's that is still extremely relevant to this day with the consumerism we have present in modern society. It is also a genius parody of the music in the 60's but also a demonstration of how it could be made to a higher musical quality if artists st..." [+] Reply
