"OurLastBreathe, of course you can comment negatively on this album, like a couple of users have already done. I may disagree with their opinions, but I respect them, and I even find them useful for displaying a point of view that is different from mine in an argumentative manner. What you cannot ..."

"Wow, I didn't think this album was ging to be this good. I wasn't too sure if sufjan could pull the whole "stripped down acoustic" style off, since the best part of sufjan's music has always been his intricate arrangements in my opinion. But man, does he pull it off. Carrie & Lowell is filled wit..." [+] Reply

"Decent album, but a bad turn from their previous music. Lonerism was extraordinary, this is a disappointment compared to it. Hopefully they dont continue down this electronic path more. I dont think this is their Kid A moment at all, where they turn out some excellent and unique electronic music...." [+] Reply

"Astounding, beautiful songwriting. Intelligent and heartfelt, funny, healthily cynical, lush without being trite, poignant to the extreme while still intensely personal. Even in a year as stacked as 2015 seems like it'll be, this has a nice head start on album of the year." Reply

"I've gotta admit, at first listen I was bummed that it was all pop and no real witch house-y type jams, but you know what? That's okay. That's why expectations are silly. This album is SUPER fun and catchy and grows with every listen." Reply

"The tunes vary from peppy little numbers and longer, slower, more methodical anthems, but in each case, Courtney's lyrics shine through as extremely unique and interesting. These superb lyrics provide the backbone for the classic rock songs that make up the album. It doesn't hurt that Barnett has..." [+] Reply

"Fun, catchy, sweet and completely harmless, with everything it implies. Not deep, not enduring, not unforgettable. Just fine for the moment and admittedly entertaining, but there's no emotional impact at all. What I don't get is why this particular album has been so acclaimed within the framework..." [+] Reply

"Julia Holter has become perhaps the decade's most un-paralled composer, it's amazing how she connects so many knotty, cerebral strands of music and manages to make something so melodic and purely beautiful. The only really dissapointing thing about Have You In My Wilderness is that it follows the..." [+] Reply
