"Pretty consistent album. I think it lacks a killer track, but it's nice to listen from start to finish. If you like Interpol you have to check it out Best tracks: Lights, Munich, All Sparks, Blood, Bullets" Reply

"This was one of my favorite albums when I was in high school. I played violin and loved indie rock and this album convinced me I didn't have to play guitar to be cool (I mean, I was wrong, but at least it got me through high school)." Reply

"Always liked PJ, but this album completely won we over for her. It is radical departure from the explosive debut albums, but the aggression or passion is still very much there, although much more hidden. She uses her voice in a different way, very much at the limit of her reach. Daring and haunti..." [+] Reply

"I think this is the best album from them, almost every song is perfect, from "Walk Away" the album is getting better and better, there are many fast tracks ("Evil And A Heathen", "You are the reason..", "Well that was easy", "What You Mean"), some really great melodic songs ("Fade Together", "Ele..."

"It's a good follow up but was never going to reach the heights of it's brilliant predecessor. Some very good indie rock tunes on this album though!" Reply

"I have loved the progression Sam Beam has taken from "Creek Drank the Cradle", especially his last two EPs "In The Reins" and "Woman King". He doesn't sound like he's simply writing odes to marshlands anymore. He has some verve and determination and something resembling rock all the while maintai..." [+] Reply

"The Dandy Warhols' run through a gamut of influences on "Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia". "Godless" opens this album with an acoustic guitar reminiscent of George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' and takes turn into a Burt Bacharach vibe... A spacey psychedelic "Mohammed" has a chilled Beatleish ton..." [+] Reply

"First things first: this is not hip-hop, it's grime. And it's probably not even the most necessary grime document (that title probably belongs to a pirate radio set, or maybe More Fire Crew's 'Pow'), but it is far and away the genre's best album. The production is cold and minimal, and Dizzee is ..." [+] Reply
