"I find this alum really bland and repetitive. I liked Don Cab 2, it seemed really innovative and dynamic, but this seems like lots of the same thing repeated with little variation for 5 or so minutes at a time. Also, the whole happy vibe doesnt really fit well with the genre, at least to me"  Reply

"Have you ever thrown everything in your refrigerator between two slices of bread to see what it tastes like? Basement Jaxx probably do that every day for lunch. Gloriously overstuffed house music."  Reply

"Tim Kasher, singer and eccentric frontman of Cursive, wrote two masterpieces in the course of two years: The Ugly Organ and The Good Life’s Black Out. Both albums display his trademark ironic and self deprecating lyrics. This album is sonically amazing with the addition of Gretta Cohn on cello an..."  [+]  Reply

"If all teeny-pop was this sharp and sassy, i'd listen to the radio more. I'm not sure if she has any say in the music composition, but that, her lyrics, delivery and attitude trump contemporaries like Annie (not to mention the teeny pop on radio / video channels). My rating reflects the later uk/..."  [+]  Reply

"I still prefer the bareness of "if it was you" but they've evolved their sound in a more "professional" studio setting (partially helmed by death cab's Chris walla) to deliver some fun, new wavey lite girl punk that still finds a way to display their narcissistic view of love in a sunny, upbeat f..."  [+]  Reply
