"Very good indie rock album. Best 10 songs average is 92,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. I like this sound and the album is rich in variety. Notable are the well-fitting electronic instruments and samples here and there. Best songs are the first three: "Everyday I love...", "I predic..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic big beat electronic album by The Chemical Brothers. Heavy thumping techno beats with some psychedelic sounds throughout, if you're into that sorta thing."  Reply

"Good album, considered the comeback album by Oasis and it does it well. There some great tunes like Lyla and Let There Be Love that are anthemic and memorable much like past Oasis hits. The Importance of Being Idle is probably one of the best tracks Noel has ever written."  Reply

"An album that is let down by the second half because the first half is amazing. It is so full of colour and life on those first 3 tracks that you start to think that your in for a classic from Explosions In The Sky. The way they build up the music is brilliant and they allow themselves to explode..."  [+]  Reply

"DO NOT let taking back sundays later work put you off this album!!! (the 2nd album was okay, after that its useless.) I see this album as under rated.

"how can you not love an album with a song called "lightsaber cocksucking blues"?? ;-) fortunately the album is solid throughout, with the band's impish sense of humor keeping things interesting."  Reply

"Seventh Tree is perfect for early autumn, when the animals are still around but the leaves are starting to fall. Warm, fleeting folktronica soundscapes form a pastoral backdrop to art pop lyrics that primarily deal with the strangeness of humans and the many methods of achieving temporary happine..."  [+]  Reply

"Still need to think about this a little longer but yeah, I feel like this might be a 10. It's literally perfect from beginning to end. The production was spotless, not a single song was too long, and Mos's rhymes were just on another level. Music is supposed to move you right? Well this shit sent..."  [+]  Reply
