"I liked this album a lot more than I initially anticipated. A couple of the songs on this were really, really good. I especially liked the songs Rattle that Lock and In Any Tongue."  Reply

"Paul Simon delivers another excellent record. So beautiful or so what, is Simon still trying different stuff. He uses samples of old blues tracks on a few songs, including the brilliant opener, getting ready for Christmas day. The afterlife, is one of the highlights, about a guy whose just been s..."  [+]  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

"One of the best pop punk albums I've heard in a long time! Ever since they came out with The Dream Is Over, I felt that PUP had the potential to put out something really great. On Morbid Stuff, they definitely live up to that potential. From the energetic riff on "Kids" to the catchy chorus on "S..."  [+]  Reply
