"I was really surprised when I first heard this. After several albums where I thought they had got into a rut and maybe even lost interest they produced what I think is a collection of excellent and varied songs with many a bit different from their earlier work. Violins and Tambourines, In a Momen..."  [+]  Reply

"I can't understand why these guys are not more famous. Their level of talent is amazing, this album is a masterpiece. I just love everything about it: the songs are great, the drummer is amazing and sounds great, the bassist knows exactly what to do and has the perfect tone. Everything just sound..."  [+]  Reply

"Well I don't know what to say about this really. It is not the Manic Street Preachers I know and love. It's like listening to a film soundtrack from the 1950's or 60's. Very odd indeed."  Reply

"Like all Katy Perry albums, it's careful melodic stiching and over-produced feel is more than apparent, but she has seemed to have expunged her worst tendecies as performer and songwriter even if she has only incremently grown on both fronts. More relaxed than her last album, tosses in the obliga..."  [+]  Reply

"I'll never understand the hate on this album. There a still plenty of great songs on this album that any Kid Cudi fan should enjoy. Not to mention good features from King Chip, Kendrick Lamar,a$ap Rocky, and even Father John Misty. The way I see it is, this album doesn't sound a whole lot differe..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is ok, The Neighbourhood have a pretty decent sound, but the songs just aren’t really there. There’s a couple songs that are pretty good, but for the most part, the rest of the album isn’t anything particularly special. It’s not bad, but it’s just not quite there. I think The Neighbour..."  [+]  Reply
