"People are always on their asses about sounding to much like Led Zeppelin. You know what I say, "SO F'n WHAT!" I like Led Zeppelin, so yes I enjoy this music and they are talented and I hope they keep sounding like Led Zeppelin for their entire long career. Long Live GVF! Oh and this is a Awesome..."  [+]  Reply

"I like this album quite a bit. it's certainly not very standard for the Decemberists. In fact, if you told me that this was an unearthed Colin Meloy synth-pop project from 1985 I wouldn't be all that surprised. "Once In My Life" in fact reminds me of Talk Talk's 1984 hit "It's My Life" (partly be..."  [+]  Reply

"My personal AOTY. I also think that this has been the best year for Damon ALbarn. I feel like everything that he did with all of his projects this decade were buildups to The Now Now and this album. Everyday Robots was pretty substantive. Filled with political, personal, and emotional themes. How..."  [+]  Reply

"I was beginning to doubt he had another great album in him, but by golly, he's done it again. And I dare say this is an even finer album than his debut. Sweet Saviour and Long Time Waiting are the immediate highlights for me."  Reply

"I personally don't find this album very engaging. While it sounds nice, and has some interesting song progressions, it really doesn't feel like the songs or the album as a whole go anywhere. Her belching vocals at times is really grading too, and while it doesn't happen often it still sounds anno..."  [+]  Reply

"Feb20. 'Shit Mirror' is a pretty cool start to the album. It apparently features The Cult's Ian Astbury, but his voice is so hidden in the mix there is no way I would have picked it without reading it was there. 'Ahead of Ourselves' is a little repetitive, but sounds like older NIN with a drum lo..."  [+]  Reply

"An absolute atomic bomb of a debut, Street Worms represents Viagra Boys in their purest form, before they started mixing genres and more overtly political messages into their music (Welfare Jazz and Cave World respectively). There's nothing wrong with any of that, of course, if the songs are exce..."  [+]  Reply
