"The halls of Columbia University birthed Vampire Weekend, a baroque pop outfit with a pension for utilizing world music.

"I compare Arctic Monkeys to a cute, funny, (maybe a trouble making) kid, who then grew into an ugly, awkward teen. This album is Arctic Monkeys emergence from the awkward phase, and into a good looking adult. My favorite album of theirs is still "Whatever people..." I like "Favourite..." a little..." [+] Reply

"This album just doesn't do it for me. Most of it comes across as just weak disco (Lose Yourself To Dance) overblown and trying too hard (Touch) or just outright dull (Within, The Game Of Love) Get Lucky is an exception, pulling off retro disco to great effect and making one of the best pop single..."

"I don't think anyone was expecting another My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, an album which is as good as any hip-hop release since 2000 or so, but I gotta be honest, what the hell are the critics listening to? If this was any other artist besides Kanye, they would've destroyed this album's lyri..." [+] Reply

"I remember seeing Win Butler on Colbert saying that he'd like to make people dance with a little tear coming down their face. That pretty much sums up this album, I've never had such a strong urge to dance and cry at the same time as I do listening to this album." Reply

"Honestly I can't understand the people who give this album a 20, 10 or 5 rating. Seriously, we all can see you didnt like the album, but seriously a "5"?? Every single band just for the fact they made an album should deserve more than a 5. If you are angry that currently this album is in No. 1, w..." [+] Reply

"I held expectations that I would most likely dislike this record, but upon giving it the opportunity to impress me,I was mystified.

"The latest album from my favorite band is yet another high mark in a career full of them. How many artists can say their 15th album was this great? Not many. Favorite tracks: "Jubilee Street", "Higgs Boson Blues", "Push the Sky Away", "We No Who U R"" Reply
