"This album is simply a new, beautiful and rare masterpiece. Original in style, well balanced & consistent - like one long piece made up of related movements - and totally gorgeous sounds and melodies from start to finish. Probably Goldfrapp's best album, and deserves much higher ratings than curr..."  [+]  Reply

"I think that this album will move up in terms of ranking when it will be getting better known. Even if he sings in French it doesn't seem to be a problem to have high positions in non French speaking countries. Logic, if you listen to papatouai or to formidable you understand why."  Reply

"Perfect indie rock, never loses pace for a second and every moment of it completely surrounds you. There's definitly a post-rock vibe here as well, hints of instrumental experimentation make this album feel very entire and rewarding."  Reply

"Yo La Tengo is one of the most consistent bands of their generation, releasing album after album of catchy indie rock that always sounds recognizably like Yo La Tengo without being overly repetitive. The subtly adventurous Fade rates as an above-average Yo La Tengo album, highlighted by the opene..."  [+]  Reply

"This has to be up there for one of the freakiest album covers I’ve ever seen. However, the album cover kind of fits the album itself, at least, it fits the lyrics. Thee Oh Sees seventh album so far is a really good, heavy, guitar-driven album. It’s garage rock, but a little heavier than what you ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is definitely an album that is different, unlike much of anything you’ll hear. I was trying to give this album a genre, trying to figure out what it would fit into and I decided on a somewhat pop, somewhat R&B feel.
