"This is the album where they turned into a shit band. their first 4 albums were amazing, the best 4 consecutive albums put out by a band in the 21st century (maybe behind arcade fire but you get the point). Mylo was the album were the band went from being a respectable alternative band to a pop b..." [+] Reply

"This is a huge improvement over The Blueprint 3 and Magna Carta Holy Grail, but it's still not particularly good. And this is coming from somebody who would probably place Jay-Z in my top ten artists of all-time. His flow is just so fucking clumsy these days. He used to be able to rap very nimbly..." [+] Reply

"This is certainly a better "album" for Coldplay, inasmuch as it works a relatively cohesive collection of songs that are meant to work with each other. Granted, this is not perfect by any stretch. Chris Martin is still one of the least impressive lyricists, but even the stripped back instrumental..." [+] Reply

"This album is just fucking amazing. I don't know why this hasn't been getting more attention. It's style is something I'm in love with. It's catchy and pop, but experimental and fresh at the same time. I will loop it for the next couple of days. Favorite songs: Velvet 4 Sale, Poem, Time" Reply

"The progression we needed from travis, not as bloated and self indulgent as rodeo while retaining its experimentality, bangers, and its perfect utilization of features, moreover it harks back to the darker nature of days before rodeo while keeping the songs sleek like on birds in the trap, only s..."

"Sampha is great. Done with hiding behind other commercial acts (Kanye, Solange, Frank Ocean) ghost writing and producing, he's now in the open on his own. It's pretty clear to me now he was the genius behind Solange's hit (and one of the best songs from last year) "Don't Touch My Hair" This thing..." [+] Reply
