"I personally love every song on this album and I don't understand the hate AT ALL. Yes, it's a more stripped back sound. Yes, it came after what's considered one of Maiden's best albums. But No Prayer, is, at it's heart, an underrated masterpiece. From the chilling Mother Russia to the helping of..."  [+]  Reply

"I never in a million years thought that I would have a Carly Rae Jepsen record in my Album of the Year watch. The songwriting, production, instrumentation choices, Rufus-collab, all of it is so surprisingly good."  Reply

"A bewitching and wholly misunderstood record from The Flaming Lips who are putting out confounding quality music 30 years into their career. The stellar, offbeat production and transporting lyrics concoct a unique experience akin to falling ever so slowly down the rabbit hole. "Oczy Mlody" is not..."  [+]  Reply

"First solo work by the prolific Falkner, who also appeared in the Greys and TV Eyes, among others—and also his best work to date. Falkner wrote, sang, and played just about everything on this record, and the songs are terrific and the production is immaculate. Everything is great here, but partic..."  [+]  Reply

"Almost as good, if not as good, as private eyes. Starts slow, but definitely has the same amount of hits -- "kiss on my list", "you've lost that lovin' feelin'", "you make my dreams" and "everytime you go away" are recognizable. "kiss on my list" and "you make my dreams" were probably the first h..."  [+]  Reply

"there are some solid tracks in here - recommend giving it multiple listens before just passing it off as recycled dad rock. Pete has always been a talented songwriter and his bag of "tricks" gets used heavily here - but not in a bad way. There are some ear worm songs with good hooks. At times you..."  [+]  Reply
