If this is dad rock I'd love to know what the kids are producing these days. A stunning piece of alt-country, every note on this album is perfect, especially on Nels Cline's impeccable solo in Impossible Germany (that man can play!).

Highlights: Impossible Germany, Hate It Here, Shake It Off

A beautiful tapestry of patchwork sounds woven together. Part of Stephen Malkmus’ genius is his ability to make songs that sound as though they have been pulled from the ether, wonderful fragile creations that seem to disappear back into thin air as quickly as they came. This album sounds like it could fall apart at any time but leaves you stunned, wondering what just happened and wanting to listen to it again.

Highlights: Grounded, Rattled by the Rush

This album is filled with sweet pop tunes and catchy melodies. From the opening “ba ba ba baaa” of Who Loves The Sun, to the closing chords of Oh! Sweet Nuthin’, the band put barely a note wrong. For me this just pips the more experimental The Velvet Underground & Nico to be the best Velvet Underground album.

Highlights: Sweet Jane, Rock & Roll, Oh! Sweet Nuthin’

A lush arrangement of country sounds. The melodies are sweet, the songs are good. What more could you ask for?

Highlights: You Ain't Goin' Nowhere, One Hundred Years from Now, Nothing Was Delivered
