"I'm going to tell you that this is The White Stripes' best album so hang with me. I get that you all are attached to White Blood Cells. I get the appeal of that album, it's a jolt of rock. This album is not White Blood Cells. It requires an acquired taste, an open mind. The White Stripes fan base..." [+] Reply

"These guys throw such a good live show.. A must see. Possibly one of the most unique hip hop albums of all time. Del nails the concept ("it's the year 3030...."), and the beats fit perfectly." Reply

"One of the greatest contemporary feel good records ever made. Nice background of their earlier work mixed with saccharine power pop that has a lot of heart with just enough frantic teenage dread and neurosis." Reply

"One of the most stunningly beautiful debut albums ever. It's a Brilliant LP, obviously heavily influenced by John Barry, Sergio Leone, and, Shirley Bassey, is effortlessly fuses different styles and sounds to form something utterly original. Some great tracks in, utopia, human, and, deer stop. It..." [+] Reply

"A latter day masterpiece from the "Picasso of song". A trip through Americana. Mississippi is the gem here. His delivery is the key. Po' Boy is fantastic as is Sugar Baby. Some great blues. Lonesome Day Blues is badass & Cry A While too (What an odd meter / time signature on this track). I love t..." [+] Reply

"There's this suaveness, this snarky edge, but undeniably boyishness to it. I'm reminded of Pip living in London, learning to be a gentleman. There's a high class presence, but there's still the fragile, infinitely endearing charm and sincerity to Dear Catastrophe Waitress that makes this an essen..." [+] Reply

"If you take away 13 and Parklife, I see this as Blur's best album. Very weird, experimental, melancholy, pretty, and sometimes silly fun. Blur's swan song is truly special and people overlook it since Coxon's not in it. Also, Sweet Song is absolutely beautiful and should have more recognition in ..." [+] Reply
