"The catchiness is unrelenting, one of a core of indie-popsters that have perfected the catchy indie-pop song (along with new porn). From the urgency of dope-smokin'-endorsin' "the way we get by" ("We go out in stormy weather / We rarely practice discern / We make love to Some Weird Sin / We seek ..." [+] Reply

"The Mantle is a companion to cold, desolate walks through a north american forest during the harsh but quiet winter. It's no surprise the album takes inspiration from cynical european black metal, desolate dark ambient, and chilling neofolk. The Mantle molds all of this into a masterful one-piece..." [+] Reply

"St. Vincent's "Actor" may be her most ambitious work to date. While "Strange Mercy" and "St. Vincent" developed her pop sense as well as built what has rapidly been recognized as her signature style, "Actor" lacked parameters for its songs and did little more (and perhaps less) than its predecess..."

"Excellent idea by Paul McCartney to produce the Let it Be album the way it should have been at the time. Extra points for including the excellent Don’t Let me Down. Though to be honest, I do miss John’s humorous comments from the original album." Reply

"If you love Joy Division, there's no doubt in my mind, you'll love this as well. Weird Post-punk with shoegaze elements and creepy and eerie vocals/lyrics. Give it some time to grow on you." Reply

"So, after doing some research and realizing Animal Collective was (and still is) one of the most influential and innovative bands of the last decade I decided to listen to all of their albums. So far this is the only one I have listened to, and man it is LOVELY. The first track is really annoying..." [+] Reply

"Some people aren’t super crazy about this album, but I have a soft spot for it. Sure, it might not be perfect, but I still appreciate it. Here, we see Interpol expand their instrumentation, adding strings, pianos, and more into the mix. This was a much-needed progression for the band's sound, bec..." [+] Reply
