Wire to wire its superb from the unconventional opening salvo of "Th..." [+] Reply

"There's no one song that is on the level of Where It's At on this album, but all the songs are solid. A Beck album can always be hit or miss (even Odelay) but this seems to be his most complete album. The variety is very good, going from rockers like E-Pro to poppy hits like Girl to more soulful ..."

"It's always funny looking back. I was initially disappointed by Yellow House. I loved the hazy, recorded under sea sound of Grizzly Bear's debut Horn of Plenty. Lo-fi being my drug of choice and all. But the splendor of Yellow House quickly won me over and there's no question it may be the epitom..." [+] Reply

"Rock fans were eager for a decent Rock band in the early 2000's. At this point all there was on offer was screamy punk rock like My Chemical Romance or no fat fast rock like The Strokes. So people jumped on Kings of Leon. Their first two albums aren't that good and overrated. They are weirdly del..." [+] Reply

"a good friend of mine once walked into the room while i was listening to this album, and after a while he said that the music was like the sonic equivalent of an old roll of movie film that is faded, rough, and darkened around the edges and is always just on the verge of breaking. i thought that ..."

"I deeply regret my first impressions and listens of Consolers of the Lonely, I wasn't ready (not old enough), not yet learned in the great history that is rock'n'roll. The soul and passion of these guys is hard to understand, a brick wall of unpenatrable energy surrounds them here. Behind the bri..." [+] Reply

"First great lp of the 2000's, pity the band were later eclipsed by Elbow who (imho) aren't as good. Standout tracks: Rise, Lost Souls, and The Cedar Room." Reply

"To me this is a very meh album, this is my typical response to most of their post Achtung baby output. To me the band has become a caricature of themselves. it always seems like they are trying to be U2 instead of just making music." Reply

"This album is another great release by Kings of Leon. I hope to see it higher in the ranks in the future along with their 1st and 2nd albums. My Party is the weak link in this album for me, but it still isn't a bad song and the album as a whole is awesome. This album had a more heavy rock and gru..." [+] Reply
