"Really solid follow up to Light Up Gold, though it shouldnt be compared to its predecessor. Both are completely different albums with individual strengths. Sunbathing Animal's strength lies within its jamming-instrumentation and witty songwriting. Sunbathing Animal and Instant Dissassembly are in..." [+] Reply

"It's hard not to hold Thom to a higher standard since his past works have been so significant, but this album just isn't changing the game the way he used to. It was exciting each time Radiohead changed their sound, but now Thom seems to have developed an affection for this cold, distant, sterile..." [+] Reply

"The reigning garage rock king does it again. Certainly his most polished effort, but that doesn't mean it has become urbane. Just as frenetic and down right dirty as ever. I could listen to his fat fuzz all day." Reply

"Frankly, I can't understand the criticism about this album. It is as good as Light Me Up, you will find some of the best songs by The Pretty Reckless, and some of the best of the moment. After listening to this many many times, I can say that Going to Hell is definitely better than Light Me Up. I..." [+] Reply
"I've been waiting for Lykke Li to find her sound ever since her 2008 debut. That album, and the follow-up, were promising Swedish dance-pop, but they were missing something. On this release, she's managed a solid collection, including a couple of real standout tracks. I suspect her best album is ..." [+] Reply

"It isn't really innovative, but it's consistent, I can't find a bad song here. While it hasn't got the grip of an Arctic Monkeys record, you can definitely hear the ambition and talent of these young lads. The production is spot on, it is full of bangers, and you can hear some Strokes and Oasis i..." [+] Reply

"This is a masterpiece. An instant classic. An overwhelmingly beautiful and tragic work of art." Reply
"This album is fantastic. Yes, it may be very lo-fi, but the compositions and arrangements are superb. It's neo-progressive/experimental rock at its a absolute best. I can't say enough about this record." Reply

""Holding On For Life" is your typical disco jam, so that deserves a listen. The only jammin' tune on here is the title track." Reply
