"I've been looking for a Black Keys album that worked for me. I am pretty sure this is the one. It's got the rawness of the earlier albums but with better production" Reply

"This record is good, but the songs are just to damn long. In my opinion, if they had cut the majority of them down to under 5 and a half minutes, then I think it would be a 90. Also, the clipping throughout is really unfortunate." Reply

"A great journey, so raw and intense. Obviously still a little rough round the edges but a fantastic release, beats and instrumentation flow perfectly. Portrays this modern, futuristic city that you feel you're flying through." Reply

"This was the first M83 album I bought and it turned out to be completely worth it. Every song here feels like it has its own personality and draws out different emotions from me that almost feels like they bring back great memories that I've forgotten. Forgo, Saturday = Youth does what title says..." [+] Reply

"This album has an incredible brooding atmosphere - really unlike any other work that Wilson has produced. Significant other is one of my favourite songs of all time. Harmony Korine and Insurgentes the others stand outs for me." Reply
"This is a very raw, emotional, and just beautiful folk album. Excellent guitar playing, passionate vocals, really beautiful word play, and feels. Lots and lots of feels. Case in point, "The Sparrow and The medicine"" Reply

"Seventh Tree is perfect for early autumn, when the animals are still around but the leaves are starting to fall. Warm, fleeting folktronica soundscapes form a pastoral backdrop to art pop lyrics that primarily deal with the strangeness of humans and the many methods of achieving temporary happine..." [+] Reply

"First half of this album is amazing, all near perfects songs, but then it just goes downhill from there, the second half is weak and lame compared to the first half." Reply

"19 only has one review? lol I can't believe that based on Adele's current popularity. I'm not a fan of this album although Chasing Pavements is a great song. It's far too coffee house for my liking. You can tell within the first 5 seconds of 21 that that album in tone is considerably different th..." [+] Reply
