"The music is witty, poppy and danceable. Hot chip bring their own style with these immediately-infectious tunes. i had a good inclination this new album would blow that one away upon hearing lead single "ready for the floor", which just builds with brilliance. "one pure thought" was my other top ..." [+] Reply

"I just don't understand how people have not acknowledged this album for all its dreamy, heavy, shoegazing beauty. Just a great outing by three superb musicians. Check out Subzero Fun, Turnstile Blues, Blanket, Sugarless" Reply
"I feel sorry for the guy who inspired One Minute Man. What a cuss out. ...maybe not. I figure the dude needs to step his game up." Reply

"So, El-P - Fantastic Damage. Even though El-P has been one of the pioneers of the experimental/abstract hip hop rise right after the turn of the 21st century, which I am a big fan of, I have the tendency to terribly underrate him (I even called him a poor man's Aesop Rock once). Anyway, if you wa..." [+] Reply

"Antony's voice was made for this. His crooning voice paired with Kim Ann Foxman's can really put the sparkle into the disco ball. Blind, You Belong (where Antony is near-breathtaking) and Raise Me Up are the stand out tracks with appropriate songwriting by the mastermind of the project, Andrew Bu..." [+] Reply

"A fairly solid listen, proving that even a lesser Harvey record still is better than most. Still, it's probably the only PJ record that is, well, "just another" PJ record" 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

"9 Years .... 9 years we Pixies/Breeders fans waited with bated breath for Kim's next move after 1993's seminal'Last Splash' and finally 'Title TK' (Journalistic short-hand for "title to come" ) appeared in 2002 T.T.K with Steve Albini back at the helm is a relatively low key affair that in no way..."

"The Stage Names contains several of Okkervil River's best songs, including the wonderful loud rocker "Unless It's Kicks" and the Beach Boys tribute "John Allyn Smith Sails." But the song I want to discuss with you is "A Girl in Port," a piano-driven ballad that explores, deeply and profoundly, th..." [+] Reply
