"Simple pop that established her brand and one of the most likeable pop acts today. Also, songs on here are the most suited to her voice. Almost like pop punk (but more on the pop side) a la Paramore" Reply
"A thoroughly, and at times willfully, strange effort from Devendra Banhart and a motley cast of artists from his loose collective of freak folk artists, Cripple Crow is probably Banhart's strongest effort (though I'd give honorable mentions to What Will We Be and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon)..."

"It's absolutely criminal that "The Lighting of the Beacons" was only included in the extended version of the soundtrack. Otherwise, this condensed version is wonderful. Howard Shore's score was absolutely essential to making the Lord of the Rings trilogy into the epic it became." Reply

"By the third album, most bands are either already re-treading familiar turf and slipping into comfortable self-parody or challenging their fanbase and losing half of them in the process. For Bloc Party circa Intimacy, it was very much the latter, but this is actually a thrilling listen in places...." [+] Reply
"I love this album. Especially 01 Ghosts I, but the entire thing is pretty breathtaking. I need to check out more ambient stuff." Reply
"I love this album. His last that he made after learning he had terminal cancer. The Boss helps out with a blistering solo on "Disorder In The House".

"This little-known Australian prog-metal band shows some tenacity on an album that really should be more widely recognised but unfortunately isn't.
