"Lovely work from Kurt Vile. He's really came into his own as an artist and this album is him doubling down on that formula. Great Indie/Americana. Best tracks: Pretty Pimpin, Wheelhouse, Wild Imagination" Reply

"Outkast released Idlewild and it was a mediocre album at best. I thought Outkast was finished and maybe the band is but Big Boi sounds like he is just getting started with this album. Wow what a way to start out! Whenever an amazing band decides to call it quits and the main members go out and st..." [+] Reply

"Pretty much all sampled beats. Joey picked all the right samples for a perfect 90s mixtape vibe but he didn’t have a vision of his own to make his own music until Summer Knights. This project is good and I like it a lot but I don’t respect the artistry as much because it wasn't Joeys own artistry..." [+] Reply

"A terrifying experience. This album holds you in place and shakes you. Giles Corey is the solo project of Dan Barrett(Have A Nice Life) and while the two are different in their own ways, they both top off high on my chart. Dan Barrett uses the pseudonym of Giles Corey to perform, and it fits. He ..." [+] Reply

"Ambient sound and unnerving vocals, the album is an experience. See how the cover looks? that's the way it sounds. Don't be put off if you are not a Spanish speaker as it should not make a big difference... I am Spanish and didn't quite get half of it." Reply

"All of the critics who will call this album musical genius are probably correct. I just found myself working too hard to convince myself that I was enjoying the music when I really was not." Reply

"A small, beautiful gem. Musgraves is an especially gifted songwriter and intelligent observer, and her view of the American Heartland has a mixture of warmth and cynicism, and one that ultimately is optimistic if well-aware of her familiar surronding's many struggles (sometimes self-inflicted) an..."

"We all know they have their formula, but it's a fun one. Their recent albums haven't really had much staying power, but it's tough not to appreciate the immediacy of them. Case in point is the song "Congregation", full of hooks that you only have to hear once to be humming all day. So while it pr..." [+] Reply

"Hot Chip have finally delivered on the promise of their earlier output with an album that is pure electronic pop at its very best. Key tracks: Motion Sickness; Flutes; Ends of the Earth; Let Me Be Him." Reply
