Album Reviews

An eclectic collection of songs -- not Muse's finest but a worthy member of the back catalogue.

No Mercury nomination but superb. Appropriately, a more 'haunting' stripped-down record. Khan's voice shudders, breaks and wrenches souls like never before.

Rolling Stone's Greatest Album of All Time. Decent shout, though slightly over-produced for my liking. Who am I to complain though

The beautiful instrumentals in some of the song are well worth it. As is the exceptional lyrics that coheed provides.

Meaty guitars and catchy-hooks a-plenty. The vigour and fun keeps me running back - more so than their debut album.

Most definitely haunting, cleverly auto-tuned vocals, double drumbeats and slick R&B Rhythms create a truly mesmerising record leaving you wanting more.

Lyrically sparkling hipster-country. You want to perch on a bar stool with this woman drinking and arm wrestling to these tunes!

Original untamed 60s beatniks, poets and freaks mix stoner jokes, radical politics and seeming obsession with wet dreams and spunk. Insane.

Heart swelling soundtrack to David Lynch's (only) gentle movie. Evokes nostalgia for places listener may never have been but feels nonetheless.

Wrecked and road-weary 3am vibes from an elegantly wasted, hollow eyed sounding Young, making a beautiful noise from gutter to stars

A hugely enjoyable and almost perfectly realised baroque outing from the former VU man. Fun, unique, accessible etc.

Soulful and understated to the point of seeming laziness.The best since Astral Weeks,and great for all the same reasons.

This is a highly talented band who has produced some of the most uplifting songs with beautiful music!

It doesn't matter what mood you're in, or what kind of day you're having - this album will make it better!

Once I finally got past Morrisey, a wide tableaux of wonderfulness lay before me. And I started with this album

Raw, effortless and sleazey, the whole album sounds like no-one remembers recording it. A time capsule of another era.

Over played and too well known to ever really 'discover', but still packed with moments of heart-swelling surges. Great stuff

Deeply soulful, hugely moving and loosely arranged. This is the way old rockers are supposed to age... take note Jagger

A close 2nd to my favourite Beatles album, The Best Of The Beatles. Every track's worth a listen!!

Modern kings of prog-mayhem are back with a diverse helping of glass-shatteringly heavy riffs and electronica, cut through with powerhouse vocals.
