"'On The Line' tells the chronological tale in song of heartbreak , with ultimate rebirth and happiness and everything that happens in between. It is also worth noting JL lost her mother to liver cancer whilst writing this album which certainly impacted the lyrics Musically it's an all star cast f..."  [+]  Reply

"My only major complaint is that a lot of this album doesn't feel like it explores much new territory for the band, but I can easily forgive them because they pull off their sound so well. Despite that, I will say that this album does have a much darker tone than their previous work, which is defi..."  [+]  Reply

"did bono take his cape off? he sounds so much more human and vulnerable than he has in a long time. the production has been stripped back a lot, to the band's credit. the production absolutely suffocated SOI. here, the band goes back to sounding like a band - just four irish dudes in a room. i'm ..."  [+]  Reply

"I don't think Suede were out to create a masterpiece here, they've just brought out 10 tracks that do nothing wrong. The first 6 songs really feel like they were made to be played live, not one doesn't feature a stadium soaring riff or Brett Anderson really wailing the lyrics, as he does best. Al..."  [+]  Reply

"Didn't realize that I never reviewed this before. This is unlike anything Future has put out before. It's an experiment that, in my opinion, worked. I enjoy Future's voice whether he's rapping or singing and he does well doing both on this album. The subject matter can be a bit pompous at times a..."  [+]  Reply

"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!

"Listened to it again after a long time of not and while it still is like a fresh breath of air in an energetic morning, I agree... there's not much memorable on here except for maybe the first track. Not a lot of catchiness to this, but at the same time, it seems to be a thing in the 2010s. Lack ..."  [+]  Reply

"Another, what I would say competent album from Depeche Mode, although, again, unspectacular. As with most DM albums it starts to run out of steam towards the end. 10 tracks instead of 12 would have been better. The other problem with latter day Depeche Mode is the lack of that killer song. They h..."  [+]  Reply
