"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..."

"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..."

"Really impressive debut. They've really taken the sound of their hit 'Chocolate' and ran with it - all the songs have plunky sounding guitars and plenty of atmospheric reverb. It's a pop album at heart, and there are some great tunes, but sadly it doesn't feature as much ambient moments as found ..." [+] Reply
"One of the most pleasant albums I've heard in a long time. I have only listened to one Smog album before I heard this album. Dream River reminds me of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter; it's the same jazzy/folky sleepy and comfortable sound, yet Bill Callahan has a universe of his own. Music don't have ..." [+] Reply

"I actually loved the contrast, first half being conscious and second half being turned up and ignorant. The second half is also AMAZING if you want to turn up your speakers and go wild!" Reply

"Amazing voice. I don't really think this album has any business having any songs over 10 minutes, much less two, as I think the brevity of songs that are typical in this style are what make them work so well. Great nonetheless." Reply

"Can i quote the last person? It's disappointing with a couple of salvagable songs near the end, "f!@#king problems" and "1train", both coincidentally featuring many guests." Reply

"Lately, The Flaming Lips have entered a very experimental stage of their career. They’ve always been fairly experimental and odd in their music, but lately they’ve been going in a very different direction from some of their earlier albums like “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and “The Soft Bulle..."
