"Can't decide if I prefer this or The Colour And The Shape. The standout songs on The Colour And The Shape are better than those on Wasting Light, but Wasting Light is more consistent." Reply

"Drake is just so bad. It’s unbelievable. I don’t see what people see in him. There are so many other great rappers out there, people who are incredibly talented, and this is who people go nuts over? This album is even worse than his first album, and his first album only had like one or two good s..." [+] Reply

"The repetitive nature and lack of quality lyrics in tunes like Never Learnt to Share "but I don't blame them..." are the things that ultimately spoiled this album for me. It has some awesome moments, and I find it hard to not appreciate the production (that bass...), but I can't listen to the ent..." [+] Reply

"A little inconsistent, but it's first and last third are nothing short of stellar. The second third is rather good, but for what Kendrick would come up with next, it doesn't fit into his master-class catalogue that would come after Section.80. Key Cuts: A.D.H.D, Hiiipower, Rigamortis" Reply

"Nice second effort from Welch who seems to try to get a bit more serious in her work with vocal harmonies and to distance herself from the more accesible music of her the debut, it has some nice tunes but it lacks consistency in general, particularly in the middle..." Reply

"His accessible sound is reminiscent of The Dream and infused with chopped and screwed over-production. It's lyrics are low in self-esteem and intelligence but this album cannot remotely come into frame with small PC speakers. This bass is meant to be felt under the influence of your choice. It's ..."

"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

"For me, this is the album of the decade so far. It combines shoegaze, which is probably my favourite genre, with the Dinousaur Jr. esque indie rock sound, which I also love, and the result is truly fantastic. This album is so very underrated- I mean, its not even in the top ten of the year, when ..." [+] Reply
