"Drake is just so bad. It’s unbelievable. I don’t see what people see in him. There are so many other great rappers out there, people who are incredibly talented, and this is who people go nuts over? This album is even worse than his first album, and his first album only had like one or two good s..." [+] Reply

"The sound of depression had been done before. But never like this. This is the sound of a man fighting for his life with everything he's got. With bile. With rage. He doesn't want to die & he's pist as all hell at being sick. At being attacked by his own body, his own mind. He screams out for hel..." [+] Reply

"A haunting album that gets darker and darker the deeper into it you go. Unwound tells you right from the start that if you dont give this album your full attention for more than an hour you can just fuck off." Reply

"While Doolittle and Surfer Rosa get a lot more attention from critics, I place Trompe le Monde right there alongside those two albums in my own Pixies pantheon. Probably the most important difference between Trompe le Monde and the Pixies' earlier work is the reduced role of Kim Deal, making this..." [+] Reply

"Kendrick just keeps solidifying his greatness. I'm convinced when his career is all said and done he will be widely considered the greatest hip-hop artist to ever walk on the planet." Reply

"(Warning: this comment is kinda long.) I'll be honest, this album took some time to grow on me, as I had some expectations about it before listening. But eventually, I came to appreciate it and thought that it was pretty solid. Around the end of 2018, I was a bit surprised to see this record very..." [+] Reply

"I believe that the relatively low score of 73 for this album reflects the number of purists or 'rockers' - or whatever you want to call them - who want to immediately attack it because it's heavily based on the synthesizer. Or, they know only the hit song and can't appreciate it (see comment rega..." [+] Reply

"Chico Buarque is a genius. "Construction" is exactly what he does in this album, through his words and sounds he builds whole cities only to destroy them all and start again. It leaves you helpless, small and oddly strong after being able to connect to everything he says." Reply

"REM's excellent follow up to monster. New adventures in hi-fi, was recorded during the band's world tour of 1995/96, and features songs recorded live, at soundchecks, and in various recording studios. The album opens deceptively with, how the west was won and where it got us, which probably would..." [+] Reply
