"This album is breathtaking. It's a kind of merging of the Cramps 'voodoobilly', Robert Johnson's Delta blues, Louisiana's swamp rhythms, Jim Morrison's dark and sensual dialectics, and California's hardcore scene. The end result is an hypnotic amphetaminic demonic rock'n'roll that bridged a fine ..." [+] Reply

"Band arrangements are over the top, but his vocals here are at his best, mixing soul, rock&roll, and jazz all into one. This LP is takes "Big Band" and turns it on its arse." Reply

"Has anyone noticed, the three symbols are their heads? Misunderstood album. It is a dark, serious, album, other than "Everything she does is magic". I love "Darkness", no one else seems to." Reply

"Who could of imagined that the missing ingredient to Kraftwerk’s Man-Machine was actually a French Woman? Those crazy Brits that’s who. Perhaps it took a little continental separation to realize that a chanteuse was the tonic to krautrock’s gin. Blend in secret weapon extraordinaire Mary Hansen’s..." [+] Reply

"This first time I listened to this album I didn't exactly love it, but I also thought it was one of the better releases from Weezer. I really liked Everything Will Be Alright In The End, which was probably my third favourite Weezer album next to The Blue Album, and Pinkerton. After a few listens ..." [+] Reply

"I cant get over this album, it is definitely my favorite record of theirs. I end up listening to this way more often they I do Dear Science. There is just some kind of feeling this album has that I can not get over. Wolf Like Me got me hooked but Province and Tonight kept me" Reply

"Still remains my favourite Arctic Monkeys record. I dont know what it is but despite everybody seeming to write this off as their worst I've just been able to connect with each song really well. It constantly reminds me of last summer and of non-stop partying after finally graduating from high sc..." [+] Reply

"Great debut album for Ozzy. Great name, great album cover, great music. Apart from the obvious fan favourites, there are some other diamonds on this album. Let's not forget the input of Don Airey either, who sadly gets a mention so small, that you need a magnifying glass to find it on the rear of..." [+] Reply

"This year has been so shitty. And while an album like Fetch the Bolt Cutters recognizes our turmoil and frustration, Shore is a great complement. This is a work of love, joy, and hope that has come at not a moment too soon. But even musically, it's making a strong claim as the best Fleet Foxes al..." [+] Reply
