"For some reason I never noticed it before, but this album is a lot like Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden. And with each listen is grows more and more profound. From the poetic lyrics, to the brilliant musicianship that blends jazz and post rock into lush arrangements. It's an album that seems much simp..." [+] Reply

"Raw, explosive and super enjoyable Noise rock/stoner rock music. Highly recomended!" Reply
"Huh... There's some fantastic tracks on here. Amazing album... no, but why so much hate? I'd listen to this 10 times over and over again before I had to listen to an Animal poser hipster Collective album. They started to sell out... hahaha... it's pop music. They sold out the moment they wrote so..." [+] Reply

"Pure joy! I love it! I've never heard an album so bustling with happiness and humanness and love. I just feel uplifted having heard this. The way everything blends together turns this album into one big happy sound soup. I barely even call this "electronica", its just awesome." Reply

"Sam Cooke was the first black R&B artist to have creative control over his career. (Curtis Mayfield also did because he was a producer at the black owned Okeh record label) This was in the early Sixties long before Marvin Gaye's legendary battle with Barry Gordy to get "What's Going On?" released..."

"Feels like turning the TV over and finding loads of strange channels you never knew you had before. Some are scary and some cause tears. I feel this one has a little more to give. Such a lonely work of the hearts. Take it." 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

"A fantastic Indie-Punk album. The album can really only be described as 'Fun'. That's what it is, a few people rocking out on their guitars and having fun with it. As for the actual band, it's a very sad story, and may the members rest in peace." Reply

"The 1st half is good despite Karma being formulaic. The 2nd half is dull cuz they're focused on a low-key R&B flavour that lacks vocal range and range for instruments themselves as well. Track pick: You Don't Know My Name." Reply
