"Hot Chip put themselves on the indie pop dance-floor map with "and i was a boy from school" mining the darker aspects of electronic music on "the warning" by being more focused, all while being more pop friendly. It certainly shows in that track as well as "over and over" and "no fit state"" Reply

"Sounds like Porcupine Tree in Master's Apprentices for a while. Predicts the album Storm Corrosion well! This is a fun ride indeed!" Reply
"Less of an album to listen to and more of an album to invite into your presence, allowing it to accompany you as you walk, or sleep, or write, etc. It's like the corners of a painting and you get to be the centre." Reply

"I found this much more accessible than "Iowa" or their self titled album, which were barely listenable for me. I don't see myself returning to this album, but it was an interesting listen and by no means a waste of time. Overall, 70/100." Reply
"Outside of Flowers In The Window and Sing it a nice and gentle affair. However the two previously mentioned are the only songs I found to be great on here. You would like this a lot if you liked Coldplay and Snow Patrol though." Reply

"This was the first M83 album I bought and it turned out to be completely worth it. Every song here feels like it has its own personality and draws out different emotions from me that almost feels like they bring back great memories that I've forgotten. Forgo, Saturday = Youth does what title says..." [+] Reply

"What can I say? Beth Gibbens' voice is haunting, in the most musical way possible. It makes it only more romantic that she lives as a recluse and essentially sends tapes of herself singing to her compatriots. While the Portishead albums are excellent, I would claim this to more masterful and comp..." [+] Reply

"Great great Dream Theater album. Not a bad track on the album, not even Vacant, in fact it's a brilliant lead in to arguably the greatest instrumental in their catalog, Stream of Consciousness. In the Name of God is one of the best album closers of all time." Reply

"For a long time I thought that no album or collection can come near OK computer. Then came Misery is a butterfly and proved me as being wrong. The greatest creations usually don’t require additional supportive comparison to shine. The album is tribute to beauty and every moment in it is a masterp..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic album that rewards multiple listens. Be Calm is brilliant, I Wanna Be the One has an infectious hop in its step, Light a Roman Candle With Me is perfected love pop and The Gambler is an excellent use of gospel choirs" Reply
