"Having Coltrane's name is for sure a heavy burden, but if you approach this album with reasonable expectations, it will most likely surpass them. The most obvious reason I can think of is it's eastern influences, but this was far more enjoyable than most jazz I've encountered (admittedly it hasn'..." [+] Reply

"I'm not generally an alto fan, but this album made me a believer. Adderley was the master of the alto and this is his finest work. The ensemble are tight and lay down jazz that is hot, cool and swinging. Two big thumbs up." Reply

"I bought this album inspired by their great compilation "Recurring Dream" . "Woodface" was the logical choice with the outstanding "Weather With You" and the fine singles "Fall at Your Feet" and "It's Only Natural" - moreover "Woodface" is the only album to feature both Finn brothers. At first th..." [+] 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

"Far removed from Pink Flag. Seems like another step forward into unchartered territory after Chairs Missing. Really inventive guitar sounds, creating a unique atmosphere." 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

"The 1975's 3rd album 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships ' is quite simply a stunning album and clearly one of 2018's best albums. The album is a perfect commentary on the condition of the always online connected millennial and their struggles. For proof look no further than this line from..." [+] Reply

"It’s hard to know where it places after only one day of listening, but this is definitely one of my favorite releases of 2018. It has a similar feel to me as In Rainbows, in that there’s a perfect marriage of beauty and experimentation. The lyrics are also very timely, addressing the uncertainty ..." [+] Reply
