"It's true, it's Merritt's best since '69 Love Songs' with some monster, killer songs on offer that easily rank as his best - even if it includes some of his oddest arrangements to date. There is one big difference though, where '69 Love Songs' favoured a more spartan instrumentation 'Memoir' is a..." [+] Reply

"Blah blah, it's not as good as the best stuff they've done, blah blah it's not this or that. How about what it is rather than what it's not? There's moments on this as good as anything released this year. When they arrive they still make me feel. Not the best album they've made. Not the best albu..." [+] Reply

"Widely referred to as the greatest Grateful Dead concert of All-Time. It is not but it is still an excellent representation of the 1977 Grateful Dead. Probably the tightest the band ever played. Crisp glistening Live recording by Betty Cantor Jackson. This is a stunning Live album worthy of ANY q..." [+] Reply

"One of the best albums of the year hands down. Between Cams gut punching emotional lyrics, the bands beautiful melodic sound this makes for an amazing album. some cool things happening on this record as well like when Cam sings into his guitar pickups through a guitar pedal on "first left from St..."

"I don't find the music particularly moving, but it feels very sincere and brave. Rappers don't release a 22 minute album of 2-minute lo-fi indie songs for the radio airplay, to be sure. This feels for the most part to me a sincere message. I don't think that it deserves the surprisingly low ratin..." [+] Reply

"Takes a few tracks to get going, but when it does, The Navigator is a moving, enrapturing love letter. Gets better with multiple listens." Reply

"Is it a perfect album? By no means. Legendary? Definitely not. But is it by far Kesha's best album and another virtual 180 by an artist? 100% Yes. I don't know what more to ask for from her. It's definitely important for feminism to be quite honest. What she's been through has clearly had an effe..." [+] Reply
"Never in my life did I think I would listen to anything from Harry Styles let alone take the time to write a review. As much as it pains me to say this... this album is actually pretty good. Sure some of the songs sound similar but as a whole it's something I enjoyed listening to and will listen ..." [+] Reply
