"Needs reappraisal, a handful of great tunes. In my own time, ordinary dream, melting in the sun and long time gone are right up there, only the schmaltz of a couple of ordinary ballads weaken the set"  Reply

"Real Estate fill the vast void left by the disbandment of Galaxie 500. Their songs are like long lost friends or perhaps more apt a faded, thread bear sweater that becomes more comfortable with age. They have an unapologetically preppy & collegiate vibe to them that reeks of lazy summers spent at..."  [+]  Reply

"My favorite from of Montreal. The first seven tracks of this album flow together so well and if you're not dancing you might be dead inside. The bass on this album is sneaky catchy as well, especially on the single Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games (which doesn't sound anything like its t..."  [+]  Reply

"Basically a re-release of the, remasters, album from 1990, with an almost identical track list, repackaged with new cover artwork. You can't argue about the quality of songs though. I don't personally like to rate and comment on compilations, but I need to bump my points up to get to level seven."  Reply

"I think there is. I also think this is another standard affair by Supergrass. Not much new ideas but 12 more catchy and energetic songs on display. 'Seen The Light' and 'Rush Hour Soul' are my favorites! 'Never Done Nothing Like That Before' adds a riot! The boundless youth is still present. More..."  [+]  Reply

"This is an underrated album on this site. Writer's Block is by far the best album from Peter Bjorn & John. The sounds on this album are amazing, so eclectic but in a subtle way. It takes some detailed listening in order to hear all of the subtle instrumentation and layering going down on this alb..."  [+]  Reply
