"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

"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. But half way in this and this is taking the crown. Might be my AOTY. As well as getting a 100 from me. After finishing this, this..." [+] Reply

"this is better than the blueprint, sorry. at its heights his flow and wit on here is only outclassed in Illmatic. b4 kendrick lamar came along this was in my top 5 rap albums of all time and still might be. I need to spend more time with MBDTF though too... but it used to be this, illmatic, 36 ch..." [+] Reply

"My Morning Jacket is about as close as one gets to a true twenty-first century arena rock band that I actually like. Of course, that's because these Louisville, Kentucky, natives are so much more than mere Skynyrd or Van Halen knockoffs. Even though their live performances include the light shows..." [+] Reply

"I'm falling more and more in love with this album! I feel like it takes the best of Future Nostalgia and Honey, but Jessie's vocal performance is more gripping and seductive than both Dua's and Robyn's. Amazing production - Jessie just shows amazing taste and her experience has taught her how to ..." [+] Reply

"Great album. Nothing's shocking, still sounds utterly unique today. It's funky, punky, and atmospheric. It's cinematic and intimate all at the same time. Personally, I just prefer follow up, ritual de lo habitual, but this is still a superb record in it's own right. This is the kind of record tha..." [+] Reply

"After Psychocandy created some controversy regarding the sound of TJAMC, Darklands counterbalances and shows the critics and the public that the band was also capable of writing strikingly beautiful songs without necessarily recurring to the "Noise Rock" aesthetic." Reply

"It's got a lot going for it. The lyrics are a legitimate attempt at a "theory of everything", with some considerable success, and capturing some of the most nuanced and poetic turns-of-phrase since all of those literary masters (Nabokov, Shakespeare, Wolfe, what have you). The music is now substa..." [+] Reply

"Live at Leeds, is quite rightly regarded as one of the great live albums. It's The Who at the top of their game, when all four members were at the peak of their powers, Moon, at his powerhouse best, Entwistle, totally on it as a stunning bass player, Townshend, finally showing his potential as a ..."
