"In my opinion this is one of the best albums of the new millenium. It launched John Mayer into superstardom. He's a better guitar player than given credit for and these songs are really catchy. They still hold up 10 years later." Reply

"Ben Gibbard seems to hate this album, basically saying it was thrown together in a recent interview. (i just think he doesn't connect with what he was feeling at that time anymore.) I think it's that at-the-moment, stream-of-consciousness writing that is the album's greatest asset, right alongsid..." [+] Reply

"This guy's a great fuckin' musician. The album is truly inventive and I never paid attention to it. Love the way that its music's structures are vulnerable to the arrangements." Reply

"Beautiful pure simple pop with a Scandi twist!" Reply
"Really don't think there's much more to add as people below have really summarised it so well. Like all great movies, the soundtrack to Fellowship isn't just an addition to what's on screen, it viscerally conveys the emotions and themes and sheer scale of what plays out. It's one of my favourite ..." [+] Reply

"Wainwright is very underrated... he has a beautiful voice, he writes incredible music, and he's slowly becoming one of my favorites." Reply

Check out the lead track "Black Book" and my favo..." [+] Reply

"The fourth album by E, aka Mark Oliver Everett. Not the best Eels album, but Eels got off to a great start, so even if this isn't quite up to par with its predecessors, it's still better than what a contemporary like Beck puts forth for a typical release. The best song here is actually on the del..." [+] Reply
