"I don't think Suede were out to create a masterpiece here, they've just brought out 10 tracks that do nothing wrong. The first 6 songs really feel like they were made to be played live, not one doesn't feature a stadium soaring riff or Brett Anderson really wailing the lyrics, as he does best. Al..."  [+]  Reply

"After a seventeen-year hiatus between albums, Mazzy Star came back and made an album that no one could reasonably have expected to be this good.
