"Bowie’s 2nd album is a very good one indeed. Space Oddity is one of his best songs. Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed is a deep cut waiting to be found. Cygnet Committee is another underrated deep cut. This is Bowie’s interpretation of the end of the hippie era" Reply

"Illinois and Michigan are both beautiful albums, but for different reasons. They both seem to explore similar thoughts and feelings, but in different ways. Where Illinois seems like a musical put on by schoolchildren that exceeds everyone's expectations and ends up being better than most Broadway..." [+] Reply

"All mod cons, in my opinion, is the best Jam album. All the potential that Paul Weller and co. had shown up to now is finally fulfilled on this great record. Weller is now truly into his stride and his songwriting is now approaching classic status. The cover of the Kinks, David Watts, is a respec..." [+] Reply

"HEROIN CHIC Kendra Smith hurled her guitar to the stage. She had had it. The constant, tedious grind of touring. Being worshipped by strangers. All of it. It was too much. She didn’t want it anymore. “Fuck this mousetrap”, she mumbled to herself. ”I’m going to live off the grid.” And you know wha..." [+] Reply

"I can say that this album pleasantly surprised me. The sense of maturity and shift in direction on this album were unexpected but definitely welcomed changes from his previous material. Tapping heavily into funk and soul influences, Donald Glover breathes new life into these genres on "Awaken, My..." [+] Reply

"Not just one of the best alt-country albums ever made, but one of the best albums of all time. It took Lucinda 6 years to write and record this one, and I'd be more than happy waiting 6 years in between her records if they could be close to this good. I was introduced to this one the same night a..." [+] Reply
