Customer Review: I'm a huge Oasis fan...they're my favorite band, in fact, and I've bought (and loved) every album they've put out as well as most of their b-sides. But frankly I can't say that I found much of anything to love about this album. It's boring and unmemorable and outside of "Falling Down" (a quality... more info
Customer Review: This album is amazing! The extra track (#12) is nothing to write home about, but this is easily the best rock album of 2008...and it's even better on vinyl!
Customer Review: I was already a fan of Snow Patrol, and this CD is great follow-up to their "Eyes Open" album. Crack the Shutters makes the album worth it everytime. -jimmy
Customer Review: I will be honest, this is the first Beck CD I have ever purchased. In the past I would here a track and say to myself, "wow that is so cool". It seemed like a post-modern mish mash, very unique---at first. In reality it was like Doritos...delicious at first, but not sustaining. I am glad there were... more info
Customer Review: My first reaction was the title of this review: "Sounds like a Coldplay dance album." The sound is bigger, less sophisticated than previous Keane's. Lyrics a bit terse, few stand out lines (Spiralling: "When we fall in love, we're only falling in love with ourselves.") I'm enjoying this... more info
Customer Review: It's hilarious to read the 1-star reviews of this album. Not because I look down at those reviewers since I completely disagree (please note my 5 star rating), but because all art is subjective. One man's garbage is another man's Warhol...but don't get me started on that since Warhol to me was... more info
Customer Review: I'm seeing Dear Science on a lot of "best of 2008" lists. This status is well-deserved. Like the best of creative musicians, this talented group has made music that is both challenging and listenable, retaining key elements of their complex sound from an earlier, break-out cd, Return To Cookie... more info
Customer Review: 2 caveats before I start this review: 1. I'm not going to delve into the whole compression/distortion/clipping issue here. It's been argued to death. I will say yes, it certainly is a valid concern. Listening to the CD on my home and car stereos, I did not notice the clipping, however when I... more info
Customer Review: I got "Narrow Stairs" for Christmas and am glad that I asked for it. It opens up with two great songs, "Bixby Canyon Bridge" and I Will Possess Your Heart." Obviously,the melancholy lyrics and plaintive singing of Benjamin Gibbard are the focal points. Not every song is a winner, but the songs that... more info
