"One of the great rock debuts, boy, is full of energy, grit and ambition. It's an album from a band hungry for success, and they give it their all on this excellent record. The opener, I Wii follow, is fantastic, it's the first song of many that manages to blend the power of rock with an atmospher..." [+] 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

"This year has been so shitty. And while an album like Fetch the Bolt Cutters recognizes our turmoil and frustration, Shore is a great complement. This is a work of love, joy, and hope that has come at not a moment too soon. But even musically, it's making a strong claim as the best Fleet Foxes al..." [+] Reply

"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

"(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

"Gram Parsons only stuck around to make a single record with the Byrds, but it was far and away the best thing the Byrds ever did, and that includes "Eight Miles High" and the other iconic Roger McGuinn-penned Byrds songs of the sixties. Sweetheart of the Rodeo never attained quite the same commer..." [+] Reply

"Early Sabbath do no wrong. Even when massively coked up during the writing and making of this, they still produce an album of a caliber that most bands will never even get close to. An all round classic that never fails to deliver. 'Laguna Sunrise' will be played at my funeral when I'm dead. My a..." [+] 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

"I picked up guitar when I first heard In A Little While, and I haven't looked back since. I've always had a special place in my heart for this album for that reason, and I hope one day I can thank the Edge for changing my life." Reply

"Sky Blue Sky was the soundtrack for a long drive through the Nevada desert on the way back from a somewhat challenging journey to climb Middle Sister, one of Nevada's seventeen county highpoints. We got lost several times trying to find the trailhead, had to ford several fairly significant creeks..." [+] Reply
