"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

"Easily Deerhunters best work since Cryptograms. They bring together all the rage and intensity that they've been restraining all these years, while combining that with the hooks and song structure from Microcastle. What comes out is my album of the year." Reply

"Having never listened to a Thundercat project, I didn't know what to expect but I sure didn't expect a love letter to Tokyo and Goku. Even on first listen I can sense so much character in it and I'm really looking forward to getting to know the album better. Also can I just talk about that cover...." [+] Reply

"I've been a Boards of Canada fan for a very long time, and Geogaddi will always be one of my favorite records ever. I remember walking with my friend really late on 4/20 earlier this year talking about if BoC would finally drop an album this year, and then the next day the whole numbers thing sta..." [+] Reply

"They do the rootsy/bluesy rock thing well. Sadly, it's been done before. I don't see how these guys are massively different from Blues Traveler in the 90s or the original artists (Big Brother and Holding Company comes to mind) from 60s and 70s." 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

"A heartfelt, passionate album. The songs here each carry serious emotional weight propelled by solid musicianship. There's at least a little something on this record that anyone can relate to" Reply
