"The courage to put out an album like Twin Fantasy is in itself moving. It always sat as a personal favourite of mine, but one that I never put on a list because a) I couldn't bring myself to, and b) I'd convinced myself it wasn't good enough, as if the despair of listening to it was the only valu..."

"Kanye and Cudi are regulars of the unexpected and the surprise. With "Kids See Ghosts" Kanye West releases one of his best albums in terms of production and Cudi finally manages to release his perfect album. The atmosphere of the record is strange and psychedelic. The album is crossed by voices, ..." [+] Reply

"The most essential record in years. A catalogue of insanely catchy socio-political anthems that tap right into the heart of the struggles and problems modern Britain faces in the most happy-angry way possible. The impact this album is going to have cannot be predicted, but I do have these thought..." [+] Reply

"I have this album in my top 10 for 2018. I think its a very beautiful album, as Beach House always delivers in that aspect, and has a handful and standout songs. However, I don't like when people get down voted for having reasonable opinions, even if they're perhaps opposing viewpoints from your ..." [+] Reply

"This will easily be one of my albums of the year if not THE album of the year. Really catchy tunes and some really clever lyrical work here. The production here is also of exceptional quality. Highlight - the baseline intro to Violence and this track in general. Fav tracks - Violence, Total Footb..." [+] Reply

"Update: a man with a top hat and a cane has showed up in my room. He is offering me money, fame, and all the women in the world. All I have to give him in return is my soul. It's a shame this album already took it." Reply

"MGMT back on form, as they present us with a series of catchy, weird, synth-tinged tunes. This album may be kind of weird, but this is their most accessible outing since their 2008 debut. Best Songs: Little Dark Age, When You Die, One Thing Left to Try, When You're Small, Hand It Over" Reply

"Would either ThiagoLucas or SaulCortes like to share with us where they managed to find this album? I was under the impression that it’s not to be released for another two weeks, but considered they’ve both given it such extreme ratings, they must’ve listened to it enough to make an informed deci..."

"Are there any other country albums that gives atmosphere like this? Because this is incredible. I thought 12 Country Greats by Ween would be my favorite country album. But half way in this and this is taking the crown. Might be my AOTY. As well as getting a 100 from me. After finishing this, this..." [+] Reply

"(Warning: this comment is kinda long.) I'll be honest, this album took some time to grow on me, as I had some expectations about it before listening. But eventually, I came to appreciate it and thought that it was pretty solid. Around the end of 2018, I was a bit surprised to see this record very..." [+] Reply
