"There is a certain listening space for this record where it unendingly delivers. In that regard it is amazing. Only "Paracosm" is a standout track that I have listened to unquenchably, the rest are stylistically great but never groundbreaking. I like it better than "Within and Without" due to bet..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the greatest albums of all time, without a shadow of doubt, some of the most beautiful, & powerful tunes I've ever had the privelige to hear, Ritz, Cavaliers, & Tumbling Down the most outstanding examples of this, I really feel great pity for anyone who hasn't experienced this masterpiece."  Reply

"Man, Death's Dynamic Shroud is amazing! I have never ever heard anything like it before. I can't put it in a single genre either it's just a strong force standing there by it's own. The first half of this thing is really strong, especially songs like See Me, Someone in the Room AND FAITH IN PERSO..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most interesting albums of 2018. This band took the sound of famous bands like Kraftwerk or Cabaret Voltaire with post-punk influences mixed with dark textures and, a minimalist modern sound, all singed in its own lenguage. The world needs more bands like these witch let you enjoy them..."  [+]  Reply

"Heavy guitar giving a gothic account of Norse mythology. It kinda works, although I would just as soon listen to genuine Viking Metal for this sort of thing (the group Tyr vice the Sabbath album Tyr)."  Reply

"This is actually a respectable album, people over-look it because too much of the world thinks lil waynes career didnt start until the release of Tha Carter III. As far as low-down gangsta southern rap goes, this is as solid as it gets. Lil wayne showed some true potential to be a great rapper on..."  [+]  Reply
