"If you’re expecting an album of ABBA similar to their mid 70s imperial phase you will be disappointed. However if you are familiar with their later albums, particularly The Visitors there is plenty to love here. This is not just the return of ABBA, it’s the return of mature ABBA. That’s not to sa..."

"Experimental and interesting, but has a tendency to be shrill, unnecessarily repetitive and frankly annoying. A difficult album to get through, only redeemed by the clear intellect behind the way it chooses to experiment." Reply
"It's not that the songs are bad because there are some damn good songs on here (others... not so much). As an album, this thing doesn't come together so well. Even though they tried to structure is with the door opening and closing, it just does not flow smoothly. I really like the hits off of he..." [+] Reply

"Every song sounds like it can be an album closer. Individually, I love the heaviness to each song! But the vocals kinda spoil it for me... just a little. This would sound great with a heavy growl or something..." Reply

"One of the more curiously produced albums of 2025. Just wild and well-written enough to not sound amateurish. Imagination and strong compositions can make up for a lot!" Reply

"A very different affair to his earlier work, Goodbye and Hello being one of my all time favourite albums. This though makes its own impression, a very upbeat funky listen. Great interplay between vocal and organ on 'Get On Top'. 'Sweet Surrender' is a personal favourite." Reply
"A cult classic, with Milton at his most experimental. Almost completely instrumental (because the lyrics were censored by the deeply corrupt military dictatorship that held Brazil hostage for over 20 years), with influences from native americans sounds and music from the Andes. May be a little ha..." [+] Reply
"Tracy thorn's voice was never more beautiful. Every deftly written lyric coupled with her voice begs you to listen and react. One of those albums that should have been huge, but the world is too shallow to take it. "Your pockets are lined with promises, when did promises ever pay for shoes."" Reply
"This is the album that introduced me to Alanis properly. I knew her hits before but they were unlike most of what I discovered on this album, and is a surprise to everyone else I have shown as well. This album is the perfect balance between the electronic and the organic in production, and wonder..." [+] Reply
"A theme album documenting a relationship from flirtation through love to disillusionment. Joni sings songs like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald. Evergreens - only two songs by Joni Mitchell: 6. A Case Of You (1972) and 12. Both Sides Now (1967)." Reply
