"I think It's a pretty good album, I didn't expect much from It, but It kinda surprised me. It has this hippie 60s-70s style that is influencied clearly by the Beatles in songs like "Tomorrow Never Came"."  Reply

"I'm not much of a hip-hop fan, but this album had me straight up addicted for a long time. I'd listened to aseop in highschool during the "none shall pass" era, but stopped for years. When I looked him up and found this newest album I was blown away by how someone I thought had perfected his craf..."  [+]  Reply

"The longest Iron Maiden album so far. It's probably a bit overlong to be honest, but there is some good stuff here. The first two tracks are excellent, and Bruce Dickinson's, empire of the clouds, is extremely enjoyable. Not as good as they used to be, but still fun."  Reply

"Daniel Lopatin creates on this record a sonic representation of the virtual world's fragmented false memory. This is the least decipherable album he's yet released, which makes it quite a 'hard' listen, but this is definitely the most bold one too. This is a contemplating on themes of virtual mem..."  [+]  Reply

"It sucks being sick. People treat you different. Even doctors. Even your family. Brandon Cox aka Deerhunter knows this frustration. He knows the despair. Of being alienated, ostracized. But he’s done something extraordinary with this anger and frustration. He’s channeled it into a rallying cry. H..."  [+]  Reply
