"We really are seeing a new breed of indie rock right now. This sounds exactly like the missing link between Fleet Foxes & Built To Spill, seasoned with something else entirely. One eye’s on the past and one’s on the future but they’ve got their fingers on the pulse. It’s complex but accessible, l..." [+] Reply

"The first half of the album feels so perfect that as some people would say "it insists upon itself". However, from track six the vibe of the album is a bit deeper and you can sense a sort of soul out there that make it, all in all, a fair album. Invisible is a standout here..." Reply

"Now this album, is underated. Common guys, this is a phenomenal album. It shows the mature form of The Maccabees, compared with their previous albums. As you can perceive many influences, it's definitely not a mono-tone album. Go, Pelican, Ayla, Feel to follow, Forever I've Known, Heave... a grea..." [+] Reply

"I’m glad Imagine Dragons is all over the radio. They are exactly what the radio needs right now. The thing I think I love most about this Las Vegas-based band is how they have such a great pop sensibility (read as: catchy songs) without ever sounding too trite or obnoxious. They consistently soun..." [+] Reply

"Beautiful. I can't believe music critics have listened to the same record. Shame on them. No, I pity them. You've got to be quite a sad person to hate this. Their sudden liking for his official ADZ release was even more shamelessly ridiculous." Reply

"Rather than being one more shot for glory "Interpol" is a more subtle, sombre affair signalling Carlos' exit from the band. By no means easy listening, it is very much their 'difficult' album with the band often sounding like they're playing with one hand behind their back, it is nonetheless a tr..." [+] Reply

"I personally like this album better than his last "something more than free". It seems in step with his growing maturity as a songwriter. If we were Vampires is one of the best songs he's written." 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
