"I have loved the progression Sam Beam has taken from "Creek Drank the Cradle", especially his last two EPs "In The Reins" and "Woman King". He doesn't sound like he's simply writing odes to marshlands anymore. He has some verve and determination and something resembling rock all the while maintai..."  [+]  Reply

"Always liked PJ, but this album completely won we over for her. It is radical departure from the explosive debut albums, but the aggression or passion is still very much there, although much more hidden. She uses her voice in a different way, very much at the limit of her reach. Daring and haunti..."  [+]  Reply

"Ah, feist of the apple commercial. With "the reminder", she brings "mushaboom" quality to most of the album. i wish she could bring more of her personality to broken social scene, because the playful warmth on "i feel it all", "my moon my man", "sealion" and the aforementioned "1, 2, 3, 4" are in..."  [+]  Reply

"There is a lot to appreciate in the electronic mastery of Sweden's Axel Willner. I'm a big fan of most of his LP releases but this one stands out as a truly exceptional piece of work. His use of loops can easily repel the casual listener who doesn't appreciate the intricacies of electronic music...."  [+]  Reply

"I can't help but grow tired of the Eastern Europe fanfare feel after the first half. Shame though, guy sure can write a song, has a good voice, and a 00s classic in "Nantes". Good album, very good if you're more partial to the stylistic treatment than I am."  Reply

"After the 'sessions' album and tour Bruce Springsteen re-united the E street band for the 2007 record, magic. As on the rising, Springsteen was always better when he had something to write about. 9/11 was the rising, magic, was the aftermath of that terrible tragedy, most notably, George W Bush, ..."  [+]  Reply

"Well, this was certainly a strange album. 'Given Up' comes on and I'm expecting this album to be terrible. The guy is screaming and swearing without no real reason. The next song does a complete U turn and is rather pleasant. Next you have Bleed It Out, which isn't as bad as 'Given Up', even a li..."  [+]  Reply

"They added a lot of new wave and volume to "so jealous" that wasn't there on "if it was you", but the hooks were slightly lost in the process. "The Con" represents the best of their last 2 albums, with all the quick-to-the-point hooks of "if it was you" and the attitude and energy of "so jealous"..."  [+]  Reply
