"constistant as hell, in quality, atmosphere, but not dynamics (which is a good thing) I can only see myself loving this album more and more" Reply
"First album of brand new material from Elvis for eight years. Leading up to the release of the album talk has been about the record being a meeting of, Imperial bedroom, and, Painted from memory, and I can see that but it's the latter it's closer too for me. Opener, Under lime, is great and sets ..." [+] Reply

"Perhaps the most fascinating pure pop record of the 00s, Rihanna gets icier and a bit self-consiouscly more gothic and grandiose on this record, to mostly positive results. Of course the well-documented personal turmoil does seethe through the record, more than a bit awkwardly at points, but her ..." [+] Reply

"You know, for the past six months, I've been going out with a girl named Annie. It's sorta funny, because she's into the exact opposite of this kind of music.
