"Still remains my favourite Arctic Monkeys record. I dont know what it is but despite everybody seeming to write this off as their worst I've just been able to connect with each song really well. It constantly reminds me of last summer and of non-stop partying after finally graduating from high sc..." [+] Reply

"This first time I listened to this album I didn't exactly love it, but I also thought it was one of the better releases from Weezer. I really liked Everything Will Be Alright In The End, which was probably my third favourite Weezer album next to The Blue Album, and Pinkerton. After a few listens ..." [+] Reply

"I think most people on this site will have a band that they connected with significantly more than any others in their adolescence. When you're moving from the stages of just uncritically absorbing whatever's on the radio or whatever your parents play, to a point of having your own musical tastes..." [+] Reply

"From my end of 2013 personal top 10 Number 1 of 2013 by a country mile and some. The clearest winner of the poll, I ever did hear. Backed up with my concert of the year at The Royal Festival Hall, which was even better than the performance at The Royal Albert Hall, later in 2013. This album has a..." [+] Reply

"This entire album is instrumental and it’s post-rock at its absolute best. It’s tough to explain this album, it has almost immeasurable depth and breadth, like listening to a beautifully crafted symphony. If you’re familiar with the band Explosions In The Sky, then you’re familiar with this type ..." [+] Reply

"Jeff Rosenstock seems like the kind of guy who always comes into a party quietly and then just all of a sudden starts jiviing uncontrollably, having a blast but then for no reason starts striking random people and then gets punched right in the face and afterwards when he's home with a broken jaw..."

"An incredible recording under any circumstance, but considering Leonard almost undoubtedly knew this would be his last and the health problems he endured, this is even more remarkable. It is difficult to pick out any highlights as it all flows so beautifully but I have to mention Treaty, which I ..." [+] Reply
