"On 2011's The Hunter, Mastodon shed their sludge roots and their recent progressive tendencies, shifting to a straightforward hard rock sound. On this record, they bring back a bit of the prog, but are still leaning heavily on catchy riffs and choruses. It hasn't done much to appease fans of thei..." [+] 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

"What a comeback! Borrows sonically from all eras of music Karin has been involved with and blends them almost seemlessly." 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

"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

"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

"I think that this album will move up in terms of ranking when it will be getting better known. Even if he sings in French it doesn't seem to be a problem to have high positions in non French speaking countries. Logic, if you listen to papatouai or to formidable you understand why." Reply

"Lovely background music. I really don't know how much credit to give to these electronica DJs. I have a friend who is working on his Phd in music. He writes brilliant symphonies, is a master of piano, guitar and plays other instruments. Seems to me to require a lot more talent than sampling recor..." [+] Reply
