"Brilliant re-edit of a number of Genesis' best songs. Great work. I absolutely like versions of Lamia and Supper's Ready. Steve Hackett is a true talent. Some of his own old songs also appear on this album, the new version of Please Don't Touch really, really delivers." Reply

"A brilliant album from Richard Hawley. Standing at the sky's edge, was a pleasant surprise upon release. It sees Hawley embracing a psychedelic sound, full of drony guitar rock. It was totally unexpected and is a brilliant record showing us how capable Hawley is making superb leftfield turns. Sta..." [+] Reply
"Consolidating the work done on the first album, The Vaccines Come Of Age is another collection of dumb, fun, rock 'n' roll (take note Animal Collective & Grizzly Bear) SONGS. Sure, the boys are hardly the most innovative kids on the block but the new album is a welcome shot in the arm just as roc..." [+] Reply

"For some reason, this is one of the best Mars Volta albums in my opinion. Noctourniquet is the best song from this album. Other standout tracks are Aegis, Malkin Jewel, Empty Vessels, Zed and Two Naughts. If people would stop comparing every album Mars Volta have released to Deloused or Frances t..." [+] Reply
"This album is an absolutely phenomenal effort from a band that has become one of my absolute favorite bands around today. Few bands to me have the musical and lyrical ability that The Avett Brothers to. They can write a catchy song that you’ll be singing for days and you’ll never even realize tha..." [+] Reply

"Trippy and woozy, perfect to get drunk to. Whoever thinks club music can't be genuinely good pieces of art needs to listen to this album." Reply
"White Foxes might be the best song ever. Just sayin'." Reply
"A brilliant underground rap record, reminiscent of Cannibal Ox. Not too sure about the artwork though..." Reply
"Good ol’ Bruno Mars. The man has an amazing voice and is all over the world of pop and hip-hop music.

"The working men and tune crafters march on. They're not aiming for the moon here, just aiming for the crowds and the ones they have converted. Would appeal to one who misses Oasis and Blur and wouldn't mind hearing a guitar band from across the Atlantic." Reply
