"Guys, I know it's been a slow year for major label music but let's calm down a little. Yes it's very good and frankly a little surprising. Lana was already an artist who I think a lot of people anticipated had a ceiling . She definitely breaks through the ceiling - but best of the decade?? Maybe ..." [+] Reply

"I don't think anyone was expecting another My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, an album which is as good as any hip-hop release since 2000 or so, but I gotta be honest, what the hell are the critics listening to? If this was any other artist besides Kanye, they would've destroyed this album's lyri..." [+] Reply

"I remember seeing Win Butler on Colbert saying that he'd like to make people dance with a little tear coming down their face. That pretty much sums up this album, I've never had such a strong urge to dance and cry at the same time as I do listening to this album." Reply

"In a year when most of the hugely acclaimed releases sprang from the electronic genre (The Avalanches' "The Wildflowers", Blood Orange's "Freetown Sound" or ANOHNI's "Hopelessness", just to name a few) and the rest were experimental in some way (Frank Ocean's "Blond", Radiohead's "A moon shaped p..."

"After giving this a half-dozen more listens, I've got a few thoughts: As has been mentioned, DAMN. asks the question "Who is Kendrick Lamar?" We think we know Kendrick. And we do, don't we? This is that Compton kid, that Section.80 kid, that good kid, who broke out of his M.A.A.D. city with one m..." [+] Reply

"Having only listened to “Flower Boy” from Tyler, I like “Igor” much much more. The atmosphere the album builds throughout its songs is very pleasing, and that's exactly what I loved about his past record. It's not 'agressive rap', which many times I don't quite like.

"Re-listened to this album post-hype. Initially, I thought it was pretty mediocre, but listening to it again years later, I really enjoy it. It's a bit shallow, and I get the "pretentious" rub people take away from it, but I think they're just trying to have fun. I'm convinced music this beautiful..." [+] Reply
