"This album by italian composer and pianist Einaudi contains the song "Fly", which was a great soundtrack for the moving french film "the Untouchables". It is surprising, though, to find that Fly isn't the best track at all; this is "Primavera" which, like most of the rest, makes my mind leave you..."  [+]  Reply

"Olde-style country paens to The Lord. You either get this stuff or you don't. Whichever way you feel Willie definitely paints a vivid picture of this world. Personally I think it's beautiful."  Reply

"My favorite breakout album of the year. This synthy-distorted-punk jaunt gallops at such a pace that you have to keep returning to let those earworms set and those grooves integrate into your psyche. This is not Post-Punk, this is not Synth-Punk this is "post-modeM" If Hardwired doesn't hook you ..."  [+]  Reply

"Okay so when Fleshwater, a Vein.fm post-hardcore/alternative metal side project, dropped "demo" I was ecstatic. The demo version of "Linda Claire" sounded like the perfect merge of 90s hardcore and late 2010s indie female vocals.
