"The two first songs are a prelude to an extraordinary punk rock album (the transition between those songs on the vinyl version is delicious). The balance of the album is a bit more generic but there is some original and refreshing punk rock songs like My Life Is Over and I Couldn't Be Happier and..." [+] Reply

"4.25 out of 5. This Dinosaur Jr album as a fairly more alternative feel to it. The band is know for their almost whiny vocals and dirty guitar riffs but this record has less of this and sweeter of overall tones, or at least in Dinosaur Jr standards. Love is..., Left / right, lost all day and be a..." [+] Reply
"As it has already been pointed out multiple times, the album cover is so eye-catching it's impossible to ignore. It's not only about style, the samurai concept runs through the whole album both in a literal -that's obvious, I guess - and in a figurative - a warrior/artist who needs utmost precisi..." [+] Reply
"An extremely charming album, it's also an album of much maturity for Modern Baseball. No matter what, this album always manages to wiggle into my feelings, regardless of when I listen to it. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a taste for emo." Reply
"Let's face it Hamilton Leithauser has got the sort of name that screams head of the IMF rather than kick-ass rock n roller but ...he manages to get away with it...just. Teaming up with Rostam from Vampire Weekend seems to have been a fortuitous experience with the songs being a more concise and c..." [+] Reply

"Pretty good. May sound monotonous at times though. 'How' is a great song for me. Best tracks: 'New Ways' 'How' and 'Made of Stone' Worst: 'No Care' (good melody but bad lyrics)" Reply
"SOUNDS LIKE A stressed out drunk Australian slurring his grievances It starts with a noisy 30 second eruption, embraces a brief gasp for breath, and then unloads again. A deep roaring bass and slow smash of the drum kit sets the foundation while the vocals and guitars present an unnerving bit of ..." [+] Reply

"Essentially more of the same from one of the better contemporary post-punk bands. Does little to expand upon their forceful debut." Reply

"The queen of the anti-folk scene delivers again. An overlooked, but very important song of 2016: The Trapper And The Furrier Favorite Tracks: Bleeding Heart, Older And Taller, Grand Hotel, Small Bill$, The Trapper And The Furrier, Tornadoland." Reply
"Ray goes full Pink Floyd on this uncompromising sonic adventure produced by My Morning Jacket's Jim James. Meant to be listened to as a whole, Ouroboros is as vital in today's vinyl resurgence as it is drenched in Lamontagne's influences. Although it can be derivative at times, this is a true art..."
