"I was never that crazy about Spoon until I heard this album. The great synths and punchy rock songs make this album much different from their previous material. Also, I love the production especially with the drums which sound very crisp. Great energy, very catchy, this is their best album yet in..." [+] Reply

"Feels like a day in a city ruled by teenaged graffiti artists. It's guitars are wild, the drums are spontaneous in the beginning and Karen O likes the fact that you're breaking the rules and the cops are chasing you. She's like that laid-back, cool girl who joins the gangs who ride motorcycles an..." [+] Reply

"black midi is not just a hype, for several months, I promise a bright future for this new English band. The four musicians have risen with ridiculous ease to the rank of the most exciting band of the UK underground scene, claiming their outsider status by an incredible stage presence. Everything ..."

"A buffet of music. Some really good stuff, some strange stuff, some fluff, some stuff that really grows on you. I can understand all the crap this album got back in the day. Realeased today it would be called a masterpiece. And, in many ways, it is." Reply

"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

"Maybe it's the addition of the horn sections, but almost all songs on this album sound so damn funky. They're still proponents of the 3-minute-ish, concise indie-pop-rock song. There's some air of danger ("Clubs and sticks and bats and balls / For nuclear dicks with their dialect drawls") with op..." [+] Reply

"i count this as 3rd generation radiohead via piano. The choruses are majestic. The statements are more simple (than radiohead). 4 of the first 5 songs are grand, knockout pop songs -- "somewhere only we know", "this is the last time" ("you fall on me for anything you like"), "bend and break" ("If..."
