"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

"I used to compare Phil Elvrum's works as the musical equivalent of Lars Von Trier's movies. The Boldness is combined with a sense of creativity that spills emotion all over the listener, He/She is ripped out from the comfort zone and thrown out in the middle of a hurricane without any clues of ho..."

"I hate that I like this so much. I mean, as I was reading the lyrics on spotify, I got a "wonderful" picture of a girl in a unicorn costume holding a tiny yippy dog- also in a unicorn costume. But theey have brilliant sporatic songwriting (Kinda reminds me of the Microphones "the glow, pt. 2"), b..." [+] Reply

"It is true, I only listened to this because Steven Wilson produced, played the keyboard and co-wrote one track. But this is not a Steven Wilson album. It is clearly Mikael Åkerfeldt driven here. Such beautifully haunting tracks. Favourites are: the first 3 tracks, To Rid The Disease and Weakness." Reply

"Can we talk about how unexpectedly good this album is? I re listened to it as an adult and figured I wouldnt like it like I did as a kid. But no, it kicks ass still! Especially that song with Robert Smith. Its freaking sweet! I had no clue who Robert Smith was a kid, but years as a music fan obvi..." [+] Reply

"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

"Wow it beggars belief that an album as good as this one currently sits at # 972 on the BEA Over Chart as per August 2018 whilst garbage like The Rolling Stones 'Aftermath' sits inside the top 500 Where to begin with this album ? Wire to wire its superb from the unconventional opening salvo of "Th..." [+] Reply

"I love Kieran Ebden's positive-vibed, light-infused down tempo electronica. It makes for a nice contrast to his sometimes collaborator, Burial, who has a darker, broodier downtempo feel. As such they make for a perfect yin-yang album collection to simply chill out to depending on your mood. Round..." [+] Reply
