"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

"Really like the long intro of "Introduction to the album". Highlights of the album are songs 4 and 5, allthough 2 and 3 are still very solid as well. Album is enjoyable until the end, but Your Deep Rest and Among the Wildflowers are outstanding. One of the better emocore/rock albums of the last d..." [+] Reply

"Sorry, but this is a fantastic album, so melancholistic and deep at some points. Photographs is one of the best songs of the year. Then you have upbeats like Mr Tembo, which is a perfected crafted song. Best album of 2014 so far." Reply

"A great little energetic gem of an album. Reminiscent of so many different post-punk and new wave bands but with a charm all it's own." Reply

"Great album and a huge improvement on their previous album. The first three tracks are a bomb, the rest of the album has a great flow with good moments like Tidal Wave" Reply

"The title is no jest; this is country music. But it's Waylon and Willie country, straight out of the early 70s. As people's patience wears thin with checklist songs and beer anthems, this album is being raised as a beacon. If you've ever been known to say, "I don't like country music," please giv..." [+] Reply

"More a direct up-down outpouring of Mitski's usual hybrids of lushly melodic ballads and sledgehammer guitar breakdowns (often in the space of a single song), overall it does feel a bit like a trial run for Puberty 2... but wow what an opener." Reply

"If we've said it once, we've said it a million times. The man has a knack for writing guitar licks. In my opinion, an improvement of the already solid debut album. I always hoped for a White Stripes reunion and while it looks like that will never happen, Jack White on his own seems to suffice jus..." [+] Reply

"A lot of confusion over this album. From interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason, Division Bell was supposed to be a double album. The disc that got realeased and then a second disc of abstract instrumentals. Sort of in the vain of Ummagumma. Anyway, they ran out of time to finish as the alb..." [+] Reply
