"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

"This album is one of the coolest I've ever heard. Queens has always been one of my top go-to bands for feeling badass, and this album doesn't disappoint. The entire thing has an aura of "coolness" about it. I keep going back to it for that reason, and it scratches that rock itch more than a lot o..." [+] 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

"The first country album I ever listened to. I love the sound and the passion in it. Sturgill Simpson writes a beautiful letter to his newborn son. It is a brilliant welcome to the world with messages to people of all ages about the world we live in and the best ways to fully experience life. I lo..." [+] Reply

"I know a lot of fans were disappointed with this because they wanted more action, but just LISTEN to this! It's absolute bliss to the ears! Every sacred second on this album is a treasure, the songs flow like clear water, the emotion that's packed in here is beautifully immense. Flawless!" Reply

"Criticisms for this record seem to stem from bashing Kanye the person rather than Kanye the artist. Furthermore, there's a silly "Oh, the album's way too short to have any impact" critique circulating everywhere which is wholly unjustified. Are we saying that Pusha T's latest album (of similar le..." [+] Reply

"I like the album. As a stand alone piece of music its a good deadpan indie rock record. But as a follow up to Sometimes I Sit & Think.. I just see no growth. Which I won't necessarily hold against her, since its not a bad sounding album either way and an artist doesn't always need to find a new s..." [+] Reply

"This album is an amalgamation of a few different genres. It has its lo-fi sound to it in places, it has some great guitar-work like you would expect out of straight rock music, and it has the reverb and spacey vocals you’d expect from dream pop. It’s a strange combination that actually works quit..." [+] Reply
