"This is the first of his post-Truckers albums that feels completely right. I get the impression that he struggled to fit into the rock mold of that band, and continued to struggle on his first two solo albums. This one is a nice mix of laid back blues-rock and soul, in that Muscle Shoals traditio..." [+] Reply

"One of the sensations of 2011, this LA-based band tick all the right boxes. Steeped in the psyche-garage tradition of the 60s, the band effortlessly merge a multitude of reference points from the past without their music ever sounding staid or derivative. Ditties reminiscent of Syd Barrett-era Pi..." [+] Reply
"Cunninlynguists makes great records with great concepts. This is no exception. Though not their best work it still has the ability to take you on a trip. Notable songs: Hard as They Come, Stars Shine the Brightest On the Darkest of Nights, Looking Back." Reply

"The songwriting is solid, and the vocal harmonizing is lovely, but this album kindof sounds like a couple of songwriters who don't know anything about country trying to do country. The country and folk stylings just feel a little fake, which makes the whole album a little less enjoyable than it c..." [+] Reply
"If nothing else... this guy has a great scream. I personally like the bombastic stuff like this... but I feel it isn't quite as genuine as I'd like." Reply

"This was a very interesting album. If you’re a fan of Yeasayer or Of Montreal or Passion Pit, you’ll probably like these guys. A very cool electronic sound with some interesting songs. Very good arrangements, some instrumental tracks that are good, some with singing, it’s a pretty good album. One..." [+] Reply

"A prequel to Kiss Land, Abel ends his mixtapes on a good note." Reply
"I was rather curious about the lead vocals of Benoît David. His last efford with Mystery was great. To be honest, I enjoyed his vocals better on 'One Among the Living'.

"This is a fantastic album featuring the combined power of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks' bands. Susan Tedeschi has one of the greatest voices in blues (or any genre, if you ask me) a powerful, beautiful voice that seems like a combination of the best aspects of the voices of Janis Joplin and Bo..."
