"Rickie Lee Jones 3rd studio album is one of her best. Gravity, It Must Be Love and Runaround are all brilliant songs , the final tracks are a mini suite - Rorschachs/Theme For The Pope - The Unsigned Painting/The Weird Beast and is a haunting end to the album."  Reply

"On last year’s Ears, Smith brilliantly echoed the accomplishments of Laurie Spiegel in drawing the sweet, familiar sounds of nature from synths, and The Kid ups the ante even further by making you forget where any of these sounds came from. This could almost be the music the citizens of Björk’s u..."  [+]  Reply

"Great reworked/remix album, perhaps the best I've ever listened to. Kraftwerk manage to update some of their very best tracks without ever losing those playful melodies that make their music such a joy to listen to. Give it a go!"  Reply

"I like the breakbeats, and the sampled instrumental parts are great - horns, voices and so on. Some cool guitar riffs too, though I can't tell how much of this is original vs sampled. Either way, the music is really interesting on most of the tracks. Ice-T's rapping is convincing too (acting chop..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the debut LP from Northwestern Illinois to Margo Price. Her album was released on Jack White's label so it's received some attention. Listening to it I hear an artist that is still emerging. She has some strong songwriting skills but she still needs to find her voice and find footing. I'l..."  [+]  Reply

"Morby impressed on his last album and this one confirms his knack for infectious, breezy melodies. It's unwaveringly retro once again, for the most part sounding like Morby's record collection consists entirely of Rubber Soul and Blond on Blond (except for an uncharacteristic Ramones tribute). I ..."  [+]  Reply
