"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

France Air
"Air provides a psychedelic caress between the disassociative culture that gave us ambient music and the idealistic and naive world of post war America which gave us The Birth of Cool. Synthesizers pulsate in a vast but colorless world of texture like a throbbing Ansel Adams photo; then angelic vo..."  [+]  Reply

"Always found this to be a bit overrated. The first track is by far the best. It all comes across as kind of a bit lo fi. Maybe it's intentional because of the jazz thing but the beats and bass sound like they're in another room. The tone is set on track 2 when I'm waiting for a colossal bass that..."  [+]  Reply

"Brought me back to hip-hop after I grew tired of the lack of creativity in the late 90s. It's got old-school sampling, great flow, and original beats. Better yet, no cliched lyrics. A triumph of hip-hop that they've been yet to beat."  Reply

"This is a nice early morning EP. It's only 24 minutes, so it's compact, but it manages to do some cool things anyways. I'm impressed by what makes up the drums on the first track: a slide projector, and joining that in the second half of the song, a Beatles drum sample. The second track, which is..."  [+]  Reply

"Two Against Nature is actually a remarkably consistent Steely Dan record: It SOUNDS like Steely Dan, it has songs by Becker and Fagen, it has immaculate playing and occasional immaculate grooves, but in the end...this all feels very hollow and in service of a band that seems to be merely attempti..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm honestly really surprised Shiina Ringo doesn't have more recognition from this site. A lot of people call her a J-pop artist, although I think pop rock or simply alternative rock are probably more appropriate; that's not all that important and perhaps me (being primarily a fan of rock music) ..."  [+]  Reply

"Pretty good album. Falls off a bit towards the end. Could’ve benefited from being trimmed to 15 or 16 songs. Overall respectable alternative metal album. Don’t let Manson’s persona scare you away. This is nearly as good as Antichrist Superstar Love Song, Fight Song, Disposable Teens, Target Audie..."  [+]  Reply
