"Definitely the best effort Plant has put out since Zeppelin. I love how seamlessly he blends many different genres together to create a relatively consistent and distinctive sound, even if a few moments come across as gimmicky. The lyricism is surprisingly good coming from Plant, and while this i..."  [+]  Reply

"DBT return to the fray, this time writing about political/ human rights events that America faces in the 21st century. There are a lot of political pleas here. I don't think they want us to change any minds here, they just want us to listen and think about what is going on in current events. The ..."  [+]  Reply

"Although it saddens me that Opeth abandoned their metal roots, I have to admit that they've emerged as a truly formidable progressive rock band. This one probably won't have any lasting interest to me, but for prog-rock, it is quite good. The tracks are tight, even as they meander. If it just had..."  [+]  Reply

"Only just discovered Frank - saw him at Beautiful Days 2012. Why have I never heard of him before? Ace songwriter in a vein which crosses punk and folk. Have bought all his albums but this (his latest) really pushes all the buttons!"  Reply

"Frankly, this album is far better than anybody could have reasonably expected it to be. If you think back to the singles he's put out in the interim since The Chronic 2001, both 'Kush' and 'I Need a Doctor' were overhammed and half-speed, precisely the sorts of out-of-touch songs you would expect..."  [+]  Reply

"This is not really anywhere near Burial's best work, but I respect an artist's attempts to change and progress their sound and challenge their listeners. I'm not all too crazy about some of the percussion on here, in particular the very tacky off-kilter drums on Hiders. I hope if he/she ever drop..."  [+]  Reply
