"This album contains a lot of my favorite DCFC songs: Marching Bands Of Manhattan Soul Meets Body Summer Skin Different Names For The Same Thing What Sarah Said Brothers On A Hotel Bed All those hits force me to rate this album high. However, I don't think it is their more cohesive album. Narrow S..." [+] Reply

"With the exception of some very unique very strange very alienated sounding guitar solo's from Omar Rodriquez, this is progressive rock at it's finest. I have no idea what Rodriguez is trying to communicate with his guitar fills on Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus, they get quite a bit better on the Widow..." [+] Reply

"I don't know if two albums were really necessary for this release, but it's still a good debut for James Murphy's popular project. I love his faux Beatles tune on track five, Daft Punk... is a classic hit, and Tribulations is an outstanding dance smash. It's just too much for me by the end. It's ..." [+] Reply

"My Morning Jacket is about as close as one gets to a true twenty-first century arena rock band that I actually like. Of course, that's because these Louisville, Kentucky, natives are so much more than mere Skynyrd or Van Halen knockoffs. Even though their live performances include the light shows..." [+] Reply

"Another awesome SOAD work here. I didn't like it as well as Tox or Hypnotize, but still really enjoyed it. Such a unique, heavey, and all around awesome sound. Favorite track was probably Old School Hollywood. Just had some charm about it." Reply

"Can't enjoy this as much as her previous works. And I seldom heard high notes from her now on this record, perhaps due to her aging. But her vocal line still sounds sweet, only less sexy though. It's still a very edgy work when compared to other messes on the current market. Fav track: Nocturn." Reply

"Picaresque is my favorite album from the Decemberists. It starts off with a muted tribal horn i often blast before the drums beat in with Colin narrating the premise of "the infanta": "Here she comes in her palanquin / on the back of an elephant / on a bed made of linen and sequins and silk / all..."

"I'm going to tell you that this is The White Stripes' best album so hang with me. I get that you all are attached to White Blood Cells. I get the appeal of that album, it's a jolt of rock. This album is not White Blood Cells. It requires an acquired taste, an open mind. The White Stripes fan base..." [+] Reply
