"The production is great as it is in most of their projects, drawing some obvious influence from the West Coast, but at the same time sounding super modern. The lyrics are somewhat of a let down ("See, the moral of the story is: She a ho, he a pimp"). Assessing his rapping has always been tricky. ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think there needs to be a subgenre of indie folk called sylvan folk. It would encompass all those artists whose music evokes dense old growth forests, undulating earth covered in moss and wildflowers, and places populated by woodland sprites and ancient spirits. It's music that conjures up a ro..."  [+]  Reply

"Are you thinking of escaping the invasion of the Japanese music scene ? You're wrong ... After Ajate, Videotapemusic, CHAI and Minyo Crusaders, here's another amazing discovery coming from the land of the Rising Sun and that will kick you in the ass.

"Tackling any Swans album is generally no mean feat considering they can be 2 hour behemoths requiring a lifestyle choice to fully comprehend (not unlike a Tool album ). But here on Swans album release number 35 (!!) it feels different , because it is different. Coming in at a long yet manageable ..."  [+]  Reply

"This isn’t a terrible album, but it’s not terribly good either It all just feels and sounds so incredibly safe with sparking clean production you could eat your lunch off. Where are the unfiltered guitars? Where are the sicko lyrics about murder , incest and mayhem? Slicing up eye balls? More lik..."  [+]  Reply

"An absolute atomic bomb of a debut, Street Worms represents Viagra Boys in their purest form, before they started mixing genres and more overtly political messages into their music (Welfare Jazz and Cave World respectively). There's nothing wrong with any of that, of course, if the songs are exce..."  [+]  Reply

"I've heard this album described as "The kind of music Prince would have made if he was an introvert." Honestly I can't think of a better description. This album draws heavily from 80's and early 90's R&B, hip-hop, and pop, along with some other surprises, in order to create a beautiful sonic back..."  [+]  Reply
