"A winding record filled with some of Alex's most twisted experiments alongside his most triumphant songs. Just as quirky as his past output, House of Sugar features tacky synth sounds, odd pitched vocals, and strange circular melodies mixed with straightforward acoustic ballads and passages of sl..."  [+]  Reply

"Not as good as TA13OO imo, but it's straight fire. Shorter (only 29 minutes), more to the point and much more upbeat and hard-hitting. However I find TA13OO to be a more engaging listen, although both albums are excellent. Cannot wait to hear more from Denzel!"  Reply

"If you haven't heard this album, you are really missing out. A pivotal moment in hip hop music and creativity. The production on this is unreal. A forgotten great that is overshadowed by albums like Good Kid Maad City among others."  Reply

"Really chill album. Nice drumming and flute. Reminiscent of Foxygen but with a more blues & early rock influence. Very different stylistically to 'I'm In Your Mind Fuzz' and 'Nonagon Infinity'. Track Picks: 'The Bitter Boogie', 'Sense' , 'Most of What I Like'"  Reply

"I agree, very solid debut album. I understand the lead singer, Taylor Momsen, was a child actress, but I was too old to see her in any of that kind of programming. I can't weigh in on her acting ability, but she can sing with power."  Reply

"CRIMINALLY UNDER-RATED. This album is in my contestants for best or the year for sure, its just so much fun! The hooks are addicting, absolutely addicting. And its self deprecating vibe really gives this album an "i dont give a crap" attitude that makes me just melt inside. We need more Jeff Rose..."  [+]  Reply

"I may be overrating this album, to rate an album a 100 after only one listen is nuts, but this could become one of my favorite albums of all time. Really, this is as "real" as music gets nowadays. This albums reminds of Warsaw, Sonic Youth and something else, which I can not define. This might be..."  [+]  Reply

"The Satanist is in a league of it's blackened death metal own. Very dark, very powerful, very Behemoth. Conceptually, it will not go down as my favorite album. Knowing that Nergal plays the part almost to a T (is he really a "satanist"? I suspect, yes, and I won't debate that with others), it doe..."  [+]  Reply
