"I’ve been a huge fan of these guys for a significant number of years and incredibly Doug Martsch and co are still releasing cracking albums after all this time. Some critics have claimed this one’s amongst their best work, I wouldn’t go that far but its a banger none the less"  Reply

"This is my favorite album by these guys. This is when they went full out metal. Still a few traces of punk in the vocals but Rocky is a full metal guitarist. Go N' Breakdown is an instant thrash classic."  Reply

"If you consider Light Upon the Lake as a sunny summer afternoon, take the sun, enhance it with neons, and then you have Forever Turned Around. One of the most streamed album of my entire playlist.

"There really is only one word to describe this album. Pain. This album truly is a look through the eyes of drug addled genius. Some of the guitars on this thing are truly extraordinary. To hear Frusciante scream and cry his way through this album is truly something that should be experienced by e..."  [+]  Reply

"A beautiful lost folk masterpiece, featuring something of a who's who of English folk musicians amongst the credits (Richard Thompson, Keith Christmas, arrangements by Robert Kirby - of Nick Drake fame). In a similar vein to Vashti, Shelagh disappeared without trace soon after, although more do t..."  [+]  Reply
