"I'm sorry, Views is utter trash. One Dance is by far the worst song I heard in 2016 and it says alot about how generic Drake got after Hotline Bling that he even threw it in as a desperate extra bonus track. After the If You're Listening mixtape, which I thought was really great, this is Drake re..." [+] Reply

"Interesting but not very musically. I really enjoy the storytelling, but the voice can get tedious and the stories dull towards the end of the album. It just becomes not as interesting as you go on, but in general its a fun listen." Reply

"There needs to be a term for this kind of music that’s been gaining such popularity so quickly. Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, The Punch Brothers, Trampled By Turtles, and now The Lumineers. It’s like all of a sudden the public cares a little bit about bluegrass. But it’s not “true" bluegras..." [+] Reply

"If you're expecting another Return to Cookie Mountain (or even a Dear Science), you'll be disappointed with this. But this album is fantastic in its own right - much more immediate and with tons of hooks. I'd almost call this alternative R&B over indie rock. Not to say it's completely hook-driven..." [+] Reply

"honestly I was impressed by this album, I thought that after Torches they would just fade out. And even though this album has no NO.1 single like "Pumped of Kicks", it might be even more consistent, creative, and more daring album. Enjoyable pop for all that it matters." Reply

"It's nearly perfect from the sheer prospect of that in its short 30 minute run time, there isnt a weak point. Golden Chords is my favorite track of 2016 thus far. This LP will find a place in my top 5 at the end of this year, and if not- that will be a testament to the year itself." Reply
"Really cool album. It's a step in the direction of "Hope" as a opposed to "Cope," which while I prefer the variety of sounds, emotions and dynamics captured in Mean Everything To Nothing and Simple Math, it's still a very interesting album and I also think that following in the quieter direction ..."

"The family jewels has plenty of duds and honestly wouldn't suffer if a few songs like "I am a robot" were cut. Despite this there is a lot to love on here. The fusion of baroque and electro pop creates a memorable sound. Marina's voice and lyricism do a good job creating personality." Reply
"Yo La Tengo is one of the most consistent bands of their generation, releasing album after album of catchy indie rock that always sounds recognizably like Yo La Tengo without being overly repetitive. The subtly adventurous Fade rates as an above-average Yo La Tengo album, highlighted by the opene..." [+] Reply
