"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
"The album was recorded in a church. When you listen armed with the knowledge it seems patently obvious, especially the monumental Nothing but Heart; my favourite guitar track this century. The Great Distroyer is still my favourite Low album, it's on my chart. This one will be if I ever get to bei..." [+] Reply
"It's one of those albums that's great when you have a hangover, or maybe on a road trip, but isn't necessarily artistically cutting edge. Nevertheless, Barnett still stars as a lyricist on an album that otherwise bears Vile's stamp in terms of music." 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

"I like this far more than their previous release, Smother, which I found to be rather boring and mediocre. This one on the other hand beholds some nice melodies and harmonies and a cool synthy and light vibe to it." 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
"Dark and disturbing at times. Very serene at others. Somewhat challenging listen, but worthwhile. Sort of GY!BE-esque." Reply
"This is my album of the year so far. It's very eclectic but held together through some subtle sonic touches. It's warm yet challenging. My rating may increase with time, but for now it is a solid 8/10. Highly recommend." Reply

"All together the album was pretty average. None of the songs could be called amazing, but also none of them would be considered shit. All together the sound was pretty consistent, which probably made the songs blend together a bit too much with nothing making them unique. This made a lot of the s..." [+] Reply

"I was a very casual Evanescence fan prior to this release. This album blew me away. This is a real band effort. The songs flow into one another and the execution, production, and muscianship are flawless. The self titled LP is a masterpiece of songcraft. Truly underrated. The album should be a st..." [+] Reply
