"One of the most gorgeous, most organic, and most underrated releases of 2013. Justin Vernon has gone on to create something that separates itself from Bon Iver, and stands up to the quality of Vernon's best work. Solid stuff right here." Reply

"Another first-rate album from Fuck Buttons, not quite as briliantly booby-trapped as Tarot Sport, but they still know how to create one incendiary experience. More like the soundtrack to particulary intense raver rather than to the dropping of an atomic bomb" Reply

"Right now Franz Ferdinand couldn't write a filler even if they wanted to and this album is all killer with each cut a potential single. Not straying from the winning formula they perfected in 2004 i.e.(Blondie + Talking Heads x 1979) the album is a timely reminder of how lucky we are to have them..." [+] Reply

"I saw Neko Case play live in Atlanta in support of this album, and although it's the only time I've ever seen her, I can't imagine it was her best performance. I give her credit for perseverance, though: she was horribly sick, and carried on with the show despite an obvious case of laryngitis (sh..." [+] Reply

"Wow, does Paul McCartney seem revitalized or what? I've never been a huge McCartney fan, but there's a focus to this album i haven't ever seen in his solo works, including any of his recent stuff all the way back to "Ram". He works with a handful of producers to deliver a very good album with no ..." [+] Reply

"Justin Timberlake still shows how ambicious he is compared to his fellow popstars collegues. This album screams for the attention that its very well deserved. Different song structures, many surprising beat changes, great production, amazing vocals, some amount of experimentation of sound and exp..." [+] Reply

"Not sure why so much hate for this simply because it followed up one of the most loved albums of the past half-decade. For what it is, the album is solid and every song is an ear-worm." Reply

"Engravings has a fantastic atmosphere and the sounds keep it interesting the whole way through. The songwriting sort of loses me occasionally though. Certain parts do feel a bit repetitive and I'd prefer if the melodies had more direction. The closing track is absolutely stunning and I just wish ..." [+] Reply
