"it's more pop to me than rap, but is that a bad thing? isn't being the world's biggest pop star what kanyes been trying to do for all these years? I can't say it's perfect, but I think it's as good as you can get while remaining a pop artist in today's music industry. kanye isn't exactly the best..." [+] Reply

"Singer/Writer Bersinger's baritone is unique and monotonous at the same time which limits any of their albums being perfect 100's for me. High Violet is lush and the lyrics are always interesting in their imagery and generalities that the listener can relate to in their own way. There isn't a bad..." [+] Reply

"This is not my favorite album. This is not the best album I've heard. But still, this album evoques a certain feeling on me every single time I hear it. It's pure magic. There is no other way to describe it. It makes me feel like I have lived a thousand lives and suddenly I felt the nostalgia of ..." [+] Reply

"Dance Yrself Clean... 100, not one weak track, except Somebody's Calling Me. Pow Pow is honestly just funny and stands out in the track listing, and Home is a fantastic ender having the soaring vocals from various people that was in Dance Yrself Clean." Reply

"Gorillaz and Demon Days were solid albums, but Plastic Beach is clearly on another level. Sorry, but it’s not even close. This is a magnum opus. From On Melancholy Hill to Empire Ants to Broken to Rhinestone Eyes, it fills you with awe, wonder, and vibes. Not only as an apparatus of songs, it flo..." [+] Reply

"This album didn't knock my socks off when I first heard it tbh. But over the years I just keep returning to it and seems to just keep getting better. The great variety and invention on show here seems to just keep getting teased out more and more." Reply

""Have One on Me" doesn't tie together as an album quite so well as "Ys", but many of its tracks are just as good as what you'll find there. Some of the songs seemed a bit "cluttered" to me at first, but after a few listens I could appreciate the richness of the music." Reply

"The best Black keys album, but having said that nothing the Black keys do is ever spectacular. Everything they do is always just okay. It's always competently done but it's always nothing better than good. All their songs are just alright. They haven't written even one great song. They're always ..." [+] Reply

"This was my first Sufjan CD ever. I had ignored him all the time. So I didn't know what to expect. When I listened to to it,I thought: "WTF? This is pretty heavy stuff!" After the second time I thought: "Crazy music". When I listened to it the third time: "There are actually great melodies under ..." [+] Reply
