"I love it! It's certainly not anything radically different from his last records but it's still catchy as hell. I might even go so far as to call it his most consistent release yet. "Just To Put Me Down" is perfect summery crooning to drink yourself to sleep to. B+"  Reply

"Darker and colder than her first album, Black Origami finds Jlin swimming at the deep end, pulling out all manner of percussive tricks and dehumanised vocal samples to produce a record that demands you move your body without the simple four-to-the-floor template."  Reply

"those chainsaws, the eccentricity, that manic production! M.I.A's third LP "Maya" is a slice of brilliant avant-pop/hip-hop/punk that'll certainly be remembered as the weirdest and most polarising piece of art from one of the most controversial sonic geniuses of our generation. A sorely underappr..."  [+]  Reply

"As has been well-documented, the band was hit on multiple fronts with family illness and death and that clearly produced a fertile creative period. It's dark and heavy while also being proggy. What more could you want from a Mastodon album? I think this is their best work since Crack the Skye. Fa..."  [+]  Reply

"It's a toss up between this one and No Prayer for the dying for my least favourite Bruce Dickinson Maiden album I was so disappointed when I heard this after their three previous triumphant return of Bruce albums. I tried listening to it on numerous occasions as people kept saying how good it is ..."  [+]  Reply

"An efficient melodic indie rock album made from a simple and already known recipe. In fact, this album reminds me the early Real Estate... a bit more melodic. However, Healthy Moon, Loose Ends are excellent songs! Favorite tracks: Out Of Mind, Healthy Moon, Loose Ends Less favorite tracks: Blue B..."  [+]  Reply

"It never used to be like this. Gorillaz used to provide quality pop music that was both ambitious and cohesive. "Demon Days" & "Plastic Beach" may have had quite different tracks on each record, but both works were undeniably striking as a whole. Unfortunately when the overloaded Humanz dropped l..."  [+]  Reply
