"I used to really like this album, but overtime I have come to appreciate and adore it. This album is perfectly written, every song is packed with intellegent lyrics accompanied by beautiful music. This album shows that Cale is a very well read man, featuring refferences to Shakespeare, Graham Gre..." [+] Reply

"The highs on this album are amazing and the opening trio of Sleeping Lessons, Australia and Phantom Limb is one of their best starts to an album ever. Every song is unique and different and that makes for a very interesting listen and I find it very difficult to even be slightly bored while playi..." [+] Reply

"One of the most interesting records from their incredible discography. There are still a few traces of their noisy beginnings, but not that much actually. There are melodies here. And damn great ones. This may not be the most instantly rewarding of their indie period, but with time, it clearly be..." [+] 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

"I'm really liking this album. Really, really liking it. It's classy, it's provocative, it's original, it's terribly sexy, and the production is impeccable. Maybe the lyrics are not brilliant, maybe there are a couple of songs that feel a little underwhelming, but it's still a very competent and o..." [+] Reply

"Being age 6 the year of its release, one of the best albums a little me could ever hope to get my hands on. Lauryn Hill commands the world's attention with her voice, and proves so with her success considering what little body of work she has relative to other artists." Reply

"I have a soft spot for early-2000s pop-punk. Its the musical equivalent of American Pie, yeah, its a little puerile and its not going to be picking many awards but its a bit of fun." Reply

"Albini & PJ Harvey are like the indie rock dream team. I LOVE the production on this album. PJ Harvey had actually been touring with the Jesus Lizard (Albini was their producer at the time) in support of Dry the year prior so I remember not being too surprised at her decision to go all "Man-Size"..."

"Would either ThiagoLucas or SaulCortes like to share with us where they managed to find this album? I was under the impression that it’s not to be released for another two weeks, but considered they’ve both given it such extreme ratings, they must’ve listened to it enough to make an informed deci..."

"This album is a bit of a missed opportunity. Some of The Beach Boys' best songs are on this album, and some of most fantastic ballads as well. "Surf's Up" is the best song and the brainchild of Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks and one of the best songs from the SMiLE sessions, "Long Promised Road"..." [+] Reply
