"Seriously kicks ass not gonna lie. Very exciting return. Singles were great but man couple of those deep cuts are even better. Highly recommend playing it loud to fully experience the awesomeness of the sick AF killer beats. Oof! I'm being ridiculous because I'm excited plus it's just really good..." [+] Reply

"Production is reminiscent of Daniel Lanois classics without the excesses (check out the guitar tones on "Alibi"). Great Americana soundscape with vulnerable, emotive lyrics, good story telling, and one of my favorite voices in music. There are some tragic themes here, but there is redemption. Hur..." [+] Reply
"I don't know how they can put out so much quality but they do and this is no exception. Slap after slap with no filler. The sounds of a band with a complete mastery of their output and an ability to do pretty much whatever they want." Reply

"Why he didn't release this sooner will always be a mystery to me. It's kind of a masterpiece. Separate Ways, the title track, and White Line are great. Florida is fine, but it sticks out like a sore thumb on an album like this." Reply

"I can fully understand why people may not like this record, especially if you are only familiar with Teens and Twin Fantasy. But dig deeper and go further back and you will discover that this is the kind of sound that Will has been adding to his much earlier records in small doses, but now with a..." [+] Reply

"(Clairo gets in a spacious, calming, introspective groove with this album and sticks the landing. A beautiful, laid-back, Singer/Songwriter album with some cool folk/pop rock, Baroque/Chamber pop elements. The tracklist never veers far from that feeling of contemplative melancholy mixed with opti..." [+] Reply

"Great album by Bad Bunny, I'm surprised, beautiful moments of classic Salsa, well mixed with electronic and alternative pop ... I recommend it favorite song "Baile Inolvidable"" Reply
"‘O Monolith’ doesn’t quite reach the lofty peaks of ‘Bright Green Field’ in my humble opinion, but still proves itself as a worthy sophomore album nonetheless." Reply

"The second half of this album is a bit weaker, but this is possibly the greatest piece of art that Lady Gaga has ever produced. And this site has criminally under rated LG and other adjacent pop artists for decades and it is time for all of you boomers to realize that pop music in 2025 is far bet..." [+] Reply
