"Despite being largely an "odds and sods" collection of leftovers from previous albums, it works amazingly well as its own album and IMO is the last true classic Stones album before overpriced nostalgia tours and endless Greatest Hits recyclings became the norm." Reply

"After recording the heavily produced, African American-influenced Doble Vida with Carlos Alomar, Gustavo Cerati decided he wanted a new direction for the band and so their next album would feature a stripped down, live quality to favor the songs over studio effects. With this release Soda Stereo ..." [+] Reply

"One of THE greatest singer-songwriter records of the 21st century. Damien Rice couples his great lyricism with passionate singing to make his debut a modern masterpiece." Reply

"Autobahn suffers from 2112 syndrome; an amazing 20 minute epic on one side of the record, encompassing everything great the group had done up to that point, followed by a seemingly random assortment of good songs on the other side that pale in comparison to the first song/side, making for a puzzl..."

"At the age of 25, Simbi Akijawo aka Little Simz, has finally succeeded with the release of her third album, "GREY Area". Ten uppercut-shaped tracks with machine-gun flow and rumbling bass. These tracks are ALL exceptional. More direct and incisive than its previous albums, "GREY Area" combines mo..." [+] Reply

"I'm falling more and more in love with this album! I feel like it takes the best of Future Nostalgia and Honey, but Jessie's vocal performance is more gripping and seductive than both Dua's and Robyn's. Amazing production - Jessie just shows amazing taste and her experience has taught her how to ..." [+] Reply

"Crazy good debut album. I still remember the day I found this album, and still can't believe the sound comes only from a bass and drums." Reply

"This is a stunning debut that has done nothing but grow in influence since its release. Its simple guitar-driven approach matched with Harriet Wheeler's distinctively sweet voice were a great rebuttal to the overproduced garbage of late 80's glam metal, rap and pop (the same could be said of musi..."

"This group has one of the most interesting and unique dynamics amongst any folk group I have listened to and that keeps this record engaging even during the slower moments. To start with there is the fantastic vocal performance which is classically British and leads the instrumentation perfectly...." [+] Reply
