"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

"Strange how this classic isn't ranked higher in the charts. There something quite intriguing about this, the combination of live instrumentation and conscious lyrics really put something special"  Reply

"Wow! What a special album this one is. This record is so personal and real. It was such a hard left turn in terms of theme in comparison to "The Times They Are A-Changin'". I personally love this more introspective vibe on here. Overall I will say this album isn't quite as consistent as its prede..."  [+]  Reply

"Sounds good on a first listen. This is currently relatively low on BEAs 2017 list compared to a lot of critic lists. Personally, this is more like what I want to hear on a pop album than Lorde's latest, for example. It feels more expressive and energising to me. Will need to hear a few more times..."  [+]  Reply

"Richard D. James is a genius. The man has an ability that few do, the way he is able to manipulate music, to subtly change small things here and there throughout songs is incredible. Sometimes instrumental electronic music can get boring, but not here, not even for a second. Every minute you’re d..."  [+]  Reply

""hair metal" yada yada, "spawned mtv's unplugged" yada yada ... What really strikes is that this is hard rock with a stylistic edge with fun hooks that doesn't overstay its welcome.
