"A fresh and lovely album full of excellent ambitious songs, delivered in a bombast that suits the music perfectly. Some brilliant tracks in, made up love song, trains to Brazil, and, Sao Paulo. Guillemots made some good records after this but none come close to the beauty and invention of this al..." [+] Reply
"Completely and absolutely stellar. From the first listen this album had me hooked, and it's just as good after a disgusting amount of listens. The energy is unmatched, the first several songs build you up and the last three just tear you down." Reply
"One of my absolute favorite pop albums!" Reply
"This is straight on Neil Young, trying to recapture the '60's. The fact that he does so to a degree still tells you a lot. These are by and large simple (and even simplistic, on Let's Impeach) but Families and Flags of Freedom are just as gorgeous (if not possibly as fresh) as classic Neil." Reply

"A great album all the way around from an underrated band. This album perfectly straddles the line between their next two albums, Dance or Die and III. Love Addict is what originally drew me in, but (among a banger set of tracks) is almost an afterthought among many other tracks I have come to ado..." [+] Reply

"I wish more people new about this album/band. I don't let my limited knowledge of the french language get in the way of enjoying it. Great diversity in sound from track to track." Reply
"One of my favorite albums of all time. Incredible musicianship, songwriting, and voice. Not to mention they are one of the best live acts ever." Reply
"The fact that The Avalanche is a collection of outtakes and B-sides from Illinois--and that it's this good--lends some perspective on how good an album Illinois is. At the time he was writing and recording all this music, Sufjan Stevens must have been on one of those creative highs that one exper..." [+] Reply
