"Arguably the best metal album released in the past 25 years. It can be quite impenetrable to some though with how nuts it is at times which is understandable. It's quite all over the place and yet somehow still manages to flow like the ocean in it's notion to play out as a single, carefully calcu..."  [+]  Reply

"Didn't like it at first. I thought it was too cheesy, especially "Your Love Alone Is Not Enough". I think differently now, well, I was going to list my favourite songs, but then I realized that all songs here are strong! It has a great energy and catchiness."  Reply

"The Stage Names contains several of Okkervil River's best songs, including the wonderful loud rocker "Unless It's Kicks" and the Beach Boys tribute "John Allyn Smith Sails." But the song I want to discuss with you is "A Girl in Port," a piano-driven ballad that explores, deeply and profoundly, th..."  [+]  Reply

Compilation
"Whether or not this is a bunch of old outtakes or unfinished tracks doesn't really make a difference to my ears. Elliott’s masterful and seemingly effortless songwriting shines through often without much instrumental backing other than a clean acoustic guitar. It's not lo-fi like Roman Candle or ..."  [+]  Reply

"Nick Cave may not be as young as he used to be, but his most recent side project takes the rawness and energy that The Birthday Party once oozed in and moulds it with the eyes and hands of a dirty old man. Sexy yet crude, rough yet calculated - it sounds exactly like its name."  Reply

"Dan Snaith's various projects--first under the Manitoba moniker, then as Caribou--show an incredible variety of instrumentation and creativity in using electronic effects to produce hypnotic beats and neo-psychedelic soundscapes. Andorra might be his sunniest work, a sound that could be what Bria..."  [+]  Reply
