"How this amazing album slipped through 2010 pretty much unnoticed is quite a tragedy. If you're not sure, listen to "TAOS". A hidden indie gem. Oh well, I'm a lucky one !"  Reply

"It is an album of covers, but it seems he brings more emphasis to the emotion of the lyrics than some of the originals. Really just beautiful. It seems Gabriel is singing with his last whim on every song; a broken man singing with heart and soul. The atmosphere of the album reminds me of Johnny C..."  [+]  Reply

"This is Sydney, Australia, brother-sister duo Angus & Julia Stone's best album, whose flavor is probably best summarized by Angus's observation in "Yellow Brick Road": "I fell in love with California." This album's twee folk stylings lean heavily on California influences such as Fleetwood Mac and..."  [+]  Reply

"What a surprise, people on this hipster-ass site hate this album. This is one of the most important albums of the 2010s; it contains two important things where the 2010s stand for and she did it before it was a thing: the rap/singing multi-tasking, and breaking gender norms. Her rapping style is ..."  [+]  Reply

"More upbeat disposition than the previous decades dystopian sounding albums. The variety of guest vocalists is great giving a varied sound yet still keeping along the same theme overall, (Mark Lanegan my favorite of these). Final few songs ending the album with some fantastic serenity."  Reply

"Back to E's very own brand of bummer rock, which is the Eels I like best, and that reminds me more of my favourite Eels album, Electro Shock Blues. It is a little up and down, but for me it's a cracking listen and right up there in the top 3 or 4 albums of there's."  Reply
