"Cohen returns with a gem. The first four tracks are pure perfection. This adds to his canon as much as his first three albums do. Don't dismiss Cohen as simply a 60s songwriter. His later work has nuggets of perfection as well." Reply

"'Scott 4', by far Scott Walker's best album, maintained the Brel influence of his previous three, but now the material (a decadent mileu of prostitutes, gansters and misfits) and his operatic vocal style, was all his own. Whereas the arrangements on his previous albums were influenced by Bacharac..." [+] Reply

"After hearing the live versions of these songs I was just grateful that Jonny and Thom were able to come together and have fun collaborating again with so much passion, creativity and energy. Now, listening to the recorded version, I’m reminded that Nigel Godrich is that extra element that always..." [+] Reply

"This surprised me a lot, after following up her critical breakthrough Norman Fucking Rockwell with a couple of substantially weaker albums I figured that Lana's music had peaked and that the still quite decent standard of Chemtrails and Blue Banisters would be the new normal. I think I was about ..." [+] Reply

"A really good album. I don't like R&B usually but this is punctuated with funky grooves and great sounds. Love it. It begs to be listened to closely from start to finish. People who compare this to only Kendrick and Chance need to expand their musical references beyond the last five years, I think." Reply

"This anticipates everything the Foos ever did and it gets bonus points for being the first album. At that time, no one ever thought we would hear anything more about or from Dave Grohl. The first three tracks are still unbeaten by anything they ever did in all the years later." Reply

"Are there any other country albums that gives atmosphere like this? Because this is incredible. I thought 12 Country Greats by Ween would be my favorite country album.
