"Feist’s sweet and sultry singing holds together this set of eclectic songs as they vary from peppy to moody to soulful to (almost) disco. The album flows smoothly from one sound to the next; Feist incorporates organs on one track, horns and finger-snapping on the next, guitars on the next, but al..." [+] Reply

""Beat Your Ass" picks up on "Inside-Out" and gives the swift kick in the ass the album title suggests. They're back with some upbeat guitar pop ready to take names and they want YOU to know it. That wry smirk of yours has Yo La Tengo written all over it." Reply

""Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed on wall street, A single mom of three, a TV personality" gushes the lead singer on the opener. The bizarre imagery of 'Chamber The Cartridge' is all about the world ready to explode and collapse on itsown weight. So a typical Rise Against albu..." [+] Reply
"Adele recently put out a pop album that received raves from critics, extraordinary sales numbers, and a countless number of awards. This was due to her incredible voice, emotionally written lyrics, and flat out enjoyable music. A few years prior, the album that fit the exact description above was..." [+] Reply
"Before the Dawn Heals Us is one big epic journey that blasts through your own mind. Although some tracks on the album don't fully match to the others, the album flows through a pattern of increasing and decreasing intensity. It truly is masterpiece that contains some M83's best work." Reply

"No line on the horizon, is U2 getting back to their more arty groove, it's a much more challenging record than most of their Other albums, and is all the better for it. The title track kicks off the LP, sounding nothing like they've ever sounded before. Magnificent, is more traditional U2, and is..." [+] Reply

"One of the best pop albums ever. It is an atrocity this is as under appreciated at it is currently. The ending to "Soretsu" is incredible." Reply
"Thank you awesomness. The only reason I found this guy is because of your chart, which I only looked at because your avatar is one of my favorite albums. A diamond in the rough indeed, he should be a household name." Reply

"I first really noticed The Cardigans one day in my car. I found a channel playing a song, which I thought must be a new Sheryl Crow single. I was very surprised when the DJ announced that it was The Cardigans. I don't remember which song it was, but I knew I had to buy one of their CD's to check ..." [+] Reply
