"As a fan of Noel and hater of Liam Gallagher, I have to say this album is not that bad. Some songs remind me of Oasis second era, but overall I'm quite surprised. However I still hope Noel to beat this with his next release."  Reply

"This album is very synth-heavy, vocal-light and compressed. It feels extremely insular. There are effects warping the instrumentals creating a clostrophobic mood with the female lead singer's voice desperately chirping amidst tinny dubstep to be free."  Reply

"I read an iTunes review of this album where someone complained that Leonard Cohen was so old he was just talking through his songs now. What they must not have realized is that Cohen has always done that. In his younger days he sang a little bit, but since the late 70s, he basically talk-sings hi..."  [+]  Reply

"I definitely prefer the sludgier side of Mastodon to their melodic side, but this album has a nice mix of both. Easily their most mainstream release, which in itself makes it kind of unique in their catalog. Curl the Burl easily stands out as my favourite song."  Reply

"I found it pretty enjoyable and compared to Recovery, Encore and Relapse (that last album is just a shame) it's pretty good. Rap God, Love Game, Headlights, Bad Guy are definitely my stand out tracks. And So Much Better is hilarious, no disrespect to the ladies. And if you compare it to a rapper ..."  [+]  Reply
