"I had a busy day of listening today. I had a half dozen albums to relisten to. This one included. And to be honest I just wasn't overwhelmingly excited about listening to Tim Buckley. He had never yet clicked with me. Meaning he had never really connected with me or illuminated for me some sort o..." [+] Reply

"I find it very interesting when people accuse a band of recording purposefully obtuse music, or accuse a person of purposefully listening to obtuse music, in order to promote some image. Just because you don't enjoy an album doesn't mean everyone else isn't going to enjoy it, and it certainly doe..." [+] Reply

"I understand comparisons to Ok Computer but for me that album dealt with humanity losing itself through technological advancement whereas here Jason Lytle is dealing with the aftermath where that battle is in the past and nature has reclaimed the earth. I think this is best exemplified by the son..." [+] Reply

"An excellent album from The Byrds. Younger than yesterday, really sees the band moving on. Opener, so you want to be a rock'n'roll star, is a sardonic take on the music business featuring trumpet from Hugh Masekela, and it's followed by, have you seen her face, one of Chris Hillman's best byrd so..."

"Whereas the debut album had a very acoustic feel to it, "Radio City" was more raw album without losing the sound of Big Star, though. Chilton's "September Gurls" has become a power-pop classic. The song has been recorded by numerous other artist, but none of those that I have heard come close to ..." [+] Reply

"Everything Jack White touches is gold. I have firmly believed that ever since I first discovered him and he hasn’t disappointed me yet. Whether it’s The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs, as a producer or just by himself he continues to make great music. This album is everything you..." [+] Reply

"Well having been a defender of this album against popular opinion for so many years but realising that for the last 15 years whenever I fancy lisening to R.E.M it's never Monster, I came on here to exhume some ghosts and finally admit it's not very good. Only to find popular opinion has changed i..." [+] Reply
