"Takes every one of the trashiest trends of the past decade of pop music, piles them on top of each other, turns them up to 11, douses them in an excessive dose of irony, post-irony, post-post-irony, and etc., and single-handedly absolves the sins of every one of them."  Reply

"Name a song that grooves harder Juice, I dare you. This album is full of awesome song craft, uplifting bravado, and excellent production. Heavily recommend 85/100 (Very Good)"  Reply

"Jai Raj Paul appeared on MySpace in 2007 but became famous in 2010, with a contract with XL Recordings. Then there was the leak that changed everything: on Bandcamp, a collection of songs by Jai, the press is excited and announces the release of a long-awaited debut album. In 2019, after seven ye..."  [+]  Reply

"Lush Americana. That's the only way to describe it. Bruce Springsteen's 19th studio album 'Western stars' is quite probably the loveliest of his career. The musicianship is bliss and the production is immaculate. Opener 'Hitch hikin'' sets the tone for the album as we and Bruce thumb ourselves al..."  [+]  Reply

"If you want to feel how long a decade is play One Direction's 2011 hit 'What makes you beautiful' and then give this a spin. On his sophomore record Harry Styles has cemented his move away from the lowest common denominator pop music that his former band defined just a few years ago. Like his deb..."  [+]  Reply

"Hmm, would you look at that. User SaulCortes1992 has given the album a 5/100 rating two weeks before the album is released. Looking at his charts, not surprised to see yet another elitist rockist user on here."  Reply

"This defied all my expectations. I thought it was going to be 'generic King Gizzard material', but this record may be one of their best, if not their best album to date. Very consistent from start to finish. I can't even tell which songs are my favorites because every one of them is amazing!"  Reply
