"It's pretty rare album art draws me in this deep. I just did a very cursory review of some of my collection, and none of the art hits me like this one. Dare I say, side by side, it makes a lot of album art look like just something that everyone sends with an album because they have to. I like the..." [+] Reply

"Also scratch just naming those 2 songs, just about every song here is amazing. While it may drag on a bit at 66 minutes, it completely makes up for it in sheer talent and composition. Also gotta point out that "The Heaviest Matter in the Universe" may just be true." Reply

"Mixing Noise rock with sludgy, doomy, stoner metal has to be one of the best ideas anyone has ever come up with. This album is a full frontal assault of noise and it's just so much fun, fantastic listen, highly recommended to anyone into fast-paced noisy rock/metal" Reply

"A bounce back from One by One. Foos got ambitious. They didn't quite nail it, but give them credit. There is a tonne of good music on this album - both discs. The acoustic surprises, and the electric delivers the usual Foos strengths." Reply

"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

"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

"My first exposure to Doves was this album. I had heard about The Last Broadcast, but my local record store only had this one in stock. The experience was pretty predictable. Mind-blown. Totally floored. Went online and ordered their discography. I'm always impressed by how many layers they can ca..." [+] Reply

"Wonderful album all throughout by progressive rock-progressive metal polish band Riverside. This is their most aggressive yet their most progressive and symphonic album. Duda's vocals have many registers and are all good, the piano and keyboards by Lapaj in this album are grandiouse, the guitar s..." [+] Reply
"Countless gems are here, This could been really their best album if they arranged and sorted more. Now I'm pretty sure they're the best band on this planet." Reply

"Richard Hawley's finest album. Coles corner, is a beautifully romantic record full of lovely songs from one of Britain's best artists of the last 20 years. There are some sublime songs here in, just like the rain, the ocean, and, born under a bad sign. Hawley writes in a classic style, a kind of ..." [+] Reply
