"My favorite album of all time, it sucks that it doesn't get noticed. I know half of the people rating have never even heard the whole album..." Reply
"This is an underrated album on this site. Writer's Block is by far the best album from Peter Bjorn & John. The sounds on this album are amazing, so eclectic but in a subtle way. It takes some detailed listening in order to hear all of the subtle instrumentation and layering going down on this alb..." [+] Reply
"Wonderful sound. One of the best bands ever to come out of Sweden. This is their best album to date." Reply

"Although some parts of this feel too much like an over-dramatic rock opera, overall this was a breath of fresh air. Picked it up on recommendation from a friend and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. Since I've had to lend it out to a few people, even :)" Reply

"It's all about the repetitive drone in each song, alongside dark lyricism. The Black Angels get away with it, and they do it well on Passover. The driving guitar riffs and rhythm; they're the AC/DC of Indie and Psych Rock. They've got a few good albums, but Passover is the best." Reply

"The follow up to, trouble, 'til the sun turns black, expands Ray Lamontagne's musical pallet to soul and and to a more atmospheric soundscape. Be here now, is a lovely track, as is, within you.

"After the slight disappointment of the, you're the one, album, Paul Simon returns six years later with an excellent record. Surprise, is probably Simon's most challenging album to date, featuring, according to the credits, ' sonic landscape' by Brian Eno. There is certainly a more ambient feeling..." [+] Reply
