"I first listened to this way back in February, via official stream, a week before the album was released. I knew nothing about Lykke Li at the time, didn't know what to expect, not in even in terms of genres, and there were no reviews at the time of course. But I was pleasantly surprised, I thoug..."  [+]  Reply

"And the votes are in , 2017 Album Of The Year goes to .. Evelope please.. Gang Of Youths “ Go Farther In Light” ! . Incredible album from wire to wire and is destined to stand the test of time as an all time classic. Deep sad thoughtful lyrics and not a single filler moment. “ Don’t Let Your Spir..."  [+]  Reply

"Not an album that you could class as a top one hundred but a bit like say The Postal Service - very addictive and will get a lot of repeat plays. Songs with a lot of melody that pleasantly drift and swell - a bit like a sedated MGMT"  Reply

"Dylan's last album of original material up to 2016. Again, it's got a similar feel to all his recent records. It's got some good stuff on here, and some not so good. Best tracks are the lovely, soon after midnight, the angry, pay in blood, and the excellent, scarlet town. Thankfully, Dylan, keeps..."  [+]  Reply

"No track really stands out on this record like certain show-stoppers on "Ten Love Songs", but Susanne Sundfør has crafted an elegant art pop / chamber folk record that maintains its melancholic yet hopeful mood extremely well and transcends the "pleasant but not much more" critique that other art..."  [+]  Reply

"Excellent album, a different record to the first but equally as intriguing. Pure excitement over the first few listens I must admit. "Heavenward" is just pure dreamy, "Yuk Foo", "Planet Hunter", "Formidable Cool", "Sadboy" my other favorites and Visions of a Life I just want that track to go on f..."  [+]  Reply

"This album has successfully managed to open my eyes (or ears rather..) to metal vocals. I've never liked metal vocals, EVER. This one did it for me. After the first couple listens I kept telling myself that an instrumental version of the album would be perfect, however every listen since then has..."  [+]  Reply
