"I'm not a big fan of The Swans but on this side project, Michael Gira is at his best and the "country" tracks here sound even more ominous and dark than on his main bands heaviest darkest song. On most of the tracks he takes his time to arrive at a satisfying and in many case manic ending. The hi..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the 5th BtS release, but for me it was the follow-up to the album that blew me away and hooked me as a fan, 1999's "Keep it Like a Secret." So it's no surprise that this one was a disappointment and would fail to measure up in my eyes. Listening again several years later, it turns out it..."  [+]  Reply

"Crude alt. rock for angsty teenagers. Save for songs that relate to Wes Scantlin's personal narrative and his relationship with his son, these are all comical jams about doing it. Which is cool if that's your thing, I suppose."  Reply

"Their best album. An eclectic, challenging pop rock album. Sonically, the album has a broad variety including acoustic guitar music, power pop, trip hop, electronica etc. What unites the album sonically is it's clean pop production that gives the whole album a "bright and shiny" feel. Lyrically, ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the best compilations of all time, they could have made an Echoes Vol. 2 and 3 with all the great music Pink Floyd have made over the years. If you want to start getting to know what Pink Floyd are all about get this and then explore their back catalogue."  Reply
