"Chemical imbalances and glam rock sure go together nice. On "hissing fauna", kevin barnes battles his personal demons and comes out on the other end of the album as "Georgie Fruit", a black man in his 40s who has been through multiple sex changes. Okay.... This is what Prince would've sounded lik..."    Reply

"Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, rather than taking any major steps in a new direction, is a kind of ”taking stock” record that collates and refines everything Spoon had done incredibly well on their prior records. This project results, then, in an incredible inventory of sounds: a grand arsenal of hand claps, Mo..."    Reply

"M.I.A. is definitely an exciting artist (I hope this is her vision and not more the work of a production team). She's gorgeous, exotic, creative, energetic and provocative. This is daring and wild stuff. It's actually more than just "music" since there is so much of an aural color going on. "Pape..."    Reply

"Some (many... most?) albums need to be listened to several times before you will notice them imprinting themselves onto your being. Sky Blue Sky certainly has done that, but it didn't happen on my first listen. really a powerful album if you give it a chance."  Reply

"Spitting Venom and Parting of the Sensory are absolutely top notch and the album also has some of the catchiest songs the band has put out. There are a few weak tracks, but overall I enjoy this album more than I do Good News (which was still a good album)."  Reply

"Hands-down the album I've listened to most. "Riot!" is probably the only album where I could listen to any song off of it and know every lyric. There was a time in my life where I only listened to this album, and it has stuck with me since its release. While it may not be the most innovative, "Ri..."    Reply
