"For an album about lovelessness, Aromanticism is a strangely seductive one, occupying it's own space, uniquely at odds with the rest of the world. Romance is out, with many of the songs offering revealing yet affecting critiques on relationships. Make of it what you will, it's another world but i..." [+] Reply

"Her worst album. Lame lyrics, overproduced, imature and noisy. She's just trying to be more and more popular and lost what made her special. Only Getaway Car is good but not great." Reply
"Unlike anything Ive heard from Noel Before, but thats not a bad thing. After a few listens I found myself really enjoying this new record!" Reply
"The record Dave Grohl referred to as Motorhead doing Sgt Pepper. Much better than Sonic Highways indeed. Most out of left field Foo Fighters album possibly ever. It's very different for them. Huge Beatles vibe to it. I'm actually in love with that aspect of this. This, to me, is probably the reco..." [+] Reply

"First listen impressions: I kinda feared it would be terrible. Fortunately, it isn't. Most Killers melodies don't grab me on the first listen (I disliked both singles on the first listen but now I love them), so I didn't really remember to many melodies and hooks but I liked the overall sound of ..."

"A serious OME album was a little unexpected but it’s done very well! The production is mellow but still interesting and the lyrical content is A+. Favorite track is Happy Wasteland Day." Reply
"I read how one reviewer called this Feist's 'sex & death' album. One thing is for sure - she's not trying to repeat the indie-pop formula that led to '1234'. This is an edgy album; one that sways between soothing and biting. Feist has really evolved as an artist; this is surely one of the best al..." [+] Reply

"Damn Tilly. You find the good shit. And you are not wrong. The IDM is so good and melds with dream pop really well." Reply
"So I've given it a bit more time and attention. The highs became really high and the lows turned out to be growers/slow burners I wasn't in the mood for. Fantastic, even if a bit less energetic." Reply
