"Probably my favorite album of the past 5 years. My one and only issue is that they claim they don't like Joy Division, despite sounding a fair bit like a poppier, more modern Joy Division ..." Reply

"Love this record. Great lyrical imagery throughout the album makes it feel like a collection of short stories." Reply
"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
"The only problem with this album is that it is only half and hour long. I have literally listened to this album everyday for the last few months, no exaggeration. Every song from this album has over a hundred plays on my iTunes." Reply
"A completely underrated and overlooked album. 9, Damien Rice's follow up to the excellent, O, is every bit as good as that record. It's predominately an acoustic LP but this time Rice adds electric instruments on some tracks and the album has a more challenging sound to it. Some great songs here ..." [+] Reply
"No indie dance album will make you groove all the way through it like Music for Men by Gossip. Nearly all the elements are there: The lead vocalist will shake you to the bone. The backing band keeps a steady groove, with just the right amount of synths and studio magic, and a hefty dose of post-p..." [+] Reply
"Talk about an underrated album. "Grand Theft Autumn (Where Is Your Boy,)" and "Saturday" are both solid pop/punk tracks. "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago" is actually my favorite Fall Out Boy song, and among my fifty favorite songs of all time. Great stuff here." Reply

"It's not the best mash-up album out there. It might not even be the best one released in that year (I think American Edit came out the same year.) Nonetheless, while the album proper probably won't be remembered, what we WILL remember this for is that it launched the career of one of the greatest..." [+] Reply
