"Very stripped back Elbow Sparse and beautiful, sort of like their "get back" project. The last two songs are a test to check if you have a heart. Seldom seen kid paints a picture of what would have happened if his wife had had the opportunity to meet his best friend who died. While I read the las..." [+] Reply
"If all pop music were like this even us middle-aged types would still care what was No.1. Better than 10 hip replacements (which you'd need after dancing to this all night) and as fizzy as a sherbet dip-dab dunked in a can of Coke. I feel like a 12 year old again..." Reply

"I've never understood why this album is so unpopular. After Made in Japan it's the one I listen to the most. The moments of poppy psychedelia in Mary Long, Woman from Tokyo and our Lady give a glimpse of where Deep Purple might have headed had Gillan & Glover not left. Also, it's a shame that Pai..."

""When you need someone to be there for you, I won't be one who will help you out" cries a heart-broken Ryan Adams on Pneumonia's twangy opener, "The ballad of Carol Lynne". Whiskeytown was an alt-country band and, sonically, this album is heavier on the "alt" than any of their previous efforts (T..." [+] Reply
"It is not as good or creative as its predecessors, but this is still a really solid album with some beautiful songs such as Void or River. 8/10." Reply

"As a massive Pixies devote and a Throwing Muses fan I was always destined to love The Breeders and that exactly what happened I was a fan when 'Pod' very 1st came out on record , yes RECORD which I cherish to this day , then 'Safari' and naturally 'Last Splash' . The Breeders have always been nea..." [+] Reply

"Often referred to as a "coldwave" band because their lead singer and guitarist, Philippe Planchon, sounded like he was about to fall asleep on many of their recordings, this French group actually had some really good songs and a cool (not necessarily "cold") post-punk/wave sound. And to be fair, ..." [+] Reply

"Hobosapiens is a triumph, an amazing album that any fan of Cale or of experimental music should own. The first four tracks and the last four tracks are all brilliant, but my favourites are “Over Her Head” and “Things”. Also, I love the nice little message hidden in the small print. Not all artist..." [+] Reply

"This is a good album but I was waiting the whole album for it to be great and it didn't become what I thought it could be. The first half is all nice smooth .Paak (besides Tints, blatant radio bait). All enjoyable but there is something missing that could take them to the next level, I'm not sure..." [+] Reply
