"It may not be as good as Angel Dust, King For A Day, and The Real Thing, but it is still another great addition to the Faith No More CD collection, and FNM returns strong. Best track is Superhero."  Reply

"HOT. DAMN!!!! Ugh. I can't express just how excellent this album is, in a year filled with excellent albums. This stands, so triumphantly, among the strongest LPs of the year. 100% recommend. I mean, it pulls from everywhere, from soul, to post punk, to industrial, to whatever you want. This isn'..."  [+]  Reply

"It was fine, i mean the first two tracks on the album are great and im like "wow, this is going to be a great album" to only be disappointed. It's not bad though, just wish i could get something more out of it."  Reply

"Or a more muscular sounding Sparks with Franz Ferdinand visibly adding the 'muscle'. This is yet again, another good album from these evergreen artists, packed with sarcastic songs sneering magnificently at everyone else's flaws and foibles. For Fuck's Sake!"  Reply

"The first time I listened to Strange Trails back in 2015, I could have sworn I'd heard every song on it before, and even felt like I could have sung along. That's how immediately agreeable this indie folk album is. Sometimes an album that's so familiar has a tendency to lose its appeal quickly, s..."  [+]  Reply

"The first half of, eagle, was great, but overall, I think this is a more consistent record from start to finish. She seems to get better as she gets older, although those Laurel Canyon obsessions still shine brightly, albeit quite beautiful. A very good album."  Reply

"I was never a fan of Milo's name-dropping, reference-for-the-sake-of-reference style (on display on Toothpaste Suburb), but this is entirely different. He's still spinning some pretty unique, quirky rhymes, but it sounds like there's a purpose behind it. Songs like Rabblerouse and An Encyclopedia..."  [+]  Reply

"The Libertines are my favourite band of all time and i have waited a long time for them to release new material, I have not been disapointed.Fair enough, Anthems For Doomed Youth, may not have the strongest of singles to lead the album.
