"Janelle killed it on this one. I think she showed definite improvement in her songwriting and furthered her pop aesthetic while still maintaining her R&B/funk roots of The ArchAndroid. The songs don't flow as seamlessly as they do on the first album, but there are so many stand-out songs here tha..." [+] Reply

"Easily Deerhunters best work since Cryptograms. They bring together all the rage and intensity that they've been restraining all these years, while combining that with the hooks and song structure from Microcastle. What comes out is my album of the year." Reply

"I've been a Boards of Canada fan for a very long time, and Geogaddi will always be one of my favorite records ever. I remember walking with my friend really late on 4/20 earlier this year talking about if BoC would finally drop an album this year, and then the next day the whole numbers thing sta..." [+] Reply

"This album is just impressive. First of all, it’s sixteen tracks long, which is certainly ambitious for a folk album, and, perhaps even more ambitious for a folk album, it’s somewhat of a concept album. It’s not a concept album in that there’s some kind of running theme throughout the album, or s..." [+] Reply

"It's so richly dense in texture and sound that it is quite mesmerizing. The vocals at times feel a bit too samey but there is enough variety in the melodies that it does not take much away from the experience." Reply
"Awesome job. Portugal. The Man keeps trying new stuff without abandoning their sound, and Danger Mouse helped a lot on this one, making a great and catchy album. Creep In a T-Shirt, Evil Friends, Plastic Soldiers, PYR&B are some of the stand-out tracks, Smile is a perfect way to finish it." Reply

"Equal parts Madonna and Sleigh Bells, Ferreira's debut is packed with the kind of 80s influenced anthems that mall dreams are made. Kool." Reply

"This album is incredibly interesting to listen to. You have to be impressed by the sheer scope of it. I mean, These New Puritans use just about every instrument you can imagine, this album is almost like a minimalistic symphony of sorts. TNP keep kind of reinventing themselves over each album. Th..."

"I think this is my favourite Kozelek album. It's not perfect ('He Always Felt Like Dancing' is a little irritating, and the relentless click-track percussion of that song is sort of jarring when set against the rest of the album, but the way the melody slowly unfolds and reveals itself at the sam..."
