"Although often considered the little brother of KNY, it is very much an album of its own and stands equal in height.

To me it is classic Deftones in that they manage to successfully blend a romantic atmosphere with heavy grooves, and man is it something good. This is a more mature side of Deftones. The hooks are more subtle and there is less reliance on grinding riffs and dark atmosphere, though there is still plenty of both to be found. This can make it seem boring to start with but listening closely you will hear the album is still very much inspired. Each song plays its part, and while the mood slows a bit after Rocket Skates it remains consistent in its quality. The band has years of chemistry building and here it shows. Fantastic metal album and fantastic album in general. Best listened to loud. Standout tracks: Beauty School, Prince, Risk. "  [+]  Reply

This album took me through a range of emotions, it showed me the entire life experience of a human being. People talk about albums being life-affirming, this is it. Susanne Sundfør just kills it. Perhaps the most accurate genre to classify it as is synthpop, though it's so much more than that. The thing that sticks out the most are the vocals. Vocally, this album is arranged so incredibly well it's mind blowing. Sundfør's voice is fantastic and everything she does with her voice, all the harmonies, the layers, all of it, is just awesome. This album is perfect, I mean I genuinely cannot find a flaw in it. The songwriting, the arrangements, all of it, it's perfect. This album is so many things, it unrequited love, it's heartbreaking abandonment, it's loneliness, it's redemption, it's everything. If "Memorial" (a song that, instrumentally, sounds like the soundtrack to a sunset) doesn't make you feel a wealth of emotions just in and of itself, then you need to re-examine yourself. This album is magical, there's no other way to describe the experience I had with it, this is one of those rare albums that inserts itself into your life, that burns itself into your very being that it feels like it knows you personally, like it's something you've been waiting for for so long. I don't even know if any of this makes sense, but all I can say is, listen to this album because you will not, for even a second, regret it."  [+]  Reply

I think it's actually aging pretty well. My initial opinion a couple of years ago was that despite my wanting to be attached to it, it really has a case of the wallpaper and the samey wameys and I eventually just moved on. So I came back just now and there's actually a lot to pull from this record. It's mainly agreed that The High Road was a top tier song. The Ghost Inside is almost a throwback to Demon Days era Gorillaz. Finally, the closing two songs work so well together and seems to have been the seed to his later LP Rome. Still a lot of filler I suppose, but I liked it again enough to bump it up a few places."  [+]  Reply

Whilst Longstreth retains his seemingly throat-straining vocals and the background female harmonies remain, Swing Lo Magellan differs much from it's predecessor in the sense that it sounds as though the band aren't focusing too heavily on being intentionally difficult (or seeming to otherwise). This album is a far more minimalized and pop-influenced effort (don't get too excited just yet), with also just a hint of country. The strongest tracks in my opinion are those that represent the more minimal sound, such as Impregnable Question (a sweet folksy/country love song) and the Socialites (Amber Coffman's beautiful voice over childishly-fun guitar picking and ambient production). Dirty Projectors may not have fully reinvented their sound but one should never fully expect that when it comes to listening to a band as unpredictable as this (don't call them Indie Rock!!!!) 7.5-8/10 "  [+]  Reply

As a Radiohead-head, I often found Thom's solo work (Atoms For Peace included) to be not much more than self-administered homework between Radiohead sessions. ANIMA changes this. Instead of coming off sounding like a bored music student arbitrarily fiddling with keys and knobs, here Thom sounds like he has an objective, a narrative (both musically and conceptually) that he wants to see through. From the groovy opening "Traffic" right through to the hauntingly layered "Runwayaway", the music is poised, diverse, feverish and constantly keeping you guessing. This isn't "side-project Thom", this is a master of his craft sitting down and taking time to sketch out and construct at once an earnest and euphoric collection of music. It's no secret Radiohead's previous two albums left some die-hards dissatisfied. This will not."  [+]  Reply
