"Yeah, I really love this record. From start to finish I find it to be really engaging and interesting and really effective at all the moods and styles it tries to take on. The slow numbers are just really sad and romantic. And the louder and more abrasive numbers are equal parts funny and disturb..." [+] Reply

"What an outstanding display of guitar work that demands your attention right from the start. This is one of the best guitar performances I have ever heard on a prog rock record with them synchronising so well with the other instruments. This makes for a cohesive listen for us and one that never s..." [+] Reply

"There isn't a bad song on here; Ye's production is excellent despite all of the controversy surrounding him; Pusha T is still and excellent rapper and talented lyricist; the features play their part well. This album sounds like luxury rap. It's just SO SHORT!" Reply

"'Round About Midnight was the first album by Davis on Columbia, where he would stay for 30 years. It features saxophonist John Coltrane, who had not yet become an icon. The interplay between the two here is great, with Davis' melodies being answered by Coltrane's energetic solos. The rhythm secti..." [+] Reply

"Imagine if Massive attack seriously took to quaaludes. For a year. The next day they swear they are NEVER going to touch that crazy ass shit again because they're paranoid as all fuck, and Tricky just shot a gun at the new guest vocalist because she was talking to another guy. BUT FIRST, you can'..." [+] Reply

"Much like GZA's Liquid Swords, this record is an almost cinematic detail of criminal life, but this one is more decadent and unapologetic. Some of the production on this album is just spooky." Reply

"His accessible sound is reminiscent of The Dream and infused with chopped and screwed over-production. It's lyrics are low in self-esteem and intelligence but this album cannot remotely come into frame with small PC speakers. This bass is meant to be felt under the influence of your choice. It's ..."

"Can anyone say 'underrated?' No, no, I get it; critics were not a huge fan of it when it first came out, labeling Radiohead a 'one-hit wonder' for the megahit "Creep," but is that even the best song on the album? I do not think there is really a bad song on this album. No, it is not my favourite ..." [+] Reply
