"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

"You know, however big a douche he is; however much I hate that my wife got me into his music; this dude can shred; and this album is a killer jam." Reply
"My favourite Elbow albu. Combines the edgy alternative ethos from the first 2 albums with the more accomplished songwriting of the recent outings. Great expectations and my very best are particularly strong." Reply

"I feel this album is quite underrated, yes, it doesn't quite hold up with the first 3 albums in Belle & Sebastian's discography, but then again, what does? With 4 different vocalists, it is always going to be a little patchy, and for me, the best tracks are easily the ones with Stuart Murdoch on ..." [+] Reply

"Wonder if I look like a tourist… I don’t envy their roadies. They must break a shitload of strings. They must have like a gazillion acoustic guitars locked & loaded on the racks in order to make a concert work. Because they don’t so much play their instruments as attack them. Fiercely! This is fo..." [+] Reply

"Will Oldham should really have changed his moniker again for this one. Because he's all grown up. This is no longer Will channeling a Bonnie "Prince" Billie to sing about the darkest recesses of his soul. This is just Will. Producing some of the best mature country & indie rock songs about love a..." [+] Reply

"I think the basement jaxx invented the house/club/IDM album replete with guest appearances and made it work like nobody before them. On royksopp's melody a.m. debut, they were at the opposite end of the spectrum, self-styling a textured electro-ambient rich in ideas but with not much energy. In 2..." [+] Reply

"The arrangement of this album, musically and production-wise is masterful. This is THE penultimate break-up record, in my honest opinion. There's musical themes woven throughout, and the emotional journey of Matt's relationship and it's demise are made relatable amd easy to invest in as a listener." Reply
"Disappointing and an album I’ll never listen to ever again, F ing In The Bush’s and Go Let It Out are ok the rest of the album is lame. This was where Oasis lost me as I knew they were to never return to the glory of their first 2 albums . I think even Oasis knew at this point it was the beginnin..." [+] Reply
