Not the biggest fan of Father Figure, but I return to the site just to say that this is fire album. Catchy, with finally fun lyrics. The first record that Taylor Swift is actually really in love. Wish List and Actually Romantic are great tracks, because you can tell she's being genuine. I think that they fall flat on many raters on this site because they've never really been in love... in a long term secure relationship...

Definitely top three records of Taylor. Not sure whether its ... read more

This record might be the best thing that came out of R.E.M. I honestly can't believe I've discovered this one this late.

To the casual listener, the genre “nerd rock” wouldn't mean anything. But as soon as you hear this record, perhaps one doesn't even need to explain what the genre means. This is nerd rock. And it's so good.

The record opens with the singer bemoaning about a potential “perfect one” for him that he will never meet on the other side of the world in ... read more

Give Up is one of the greatest records of all time.

In an era of lo-fi hip hop chill beats to sleep/study with, The Postal Service sounds fresher than ever. There is something so empty and lethargic about most modern "chill" songs, that really just doesn't cut it. Now, I understand they're really not made for active listening, and that is probably why I don't like it very much. But Give Up is a "chill" record that is also made for active listening. The record gives more ... read more

The Pinkerton of Radiohead. I'm angsty.

I don't get why people think this is good.

I didn't like Red, and I still don't like Red.

The new Psallos record, Philippians, might just be the best Christian record I've ever heard, as well as landing squarely in my top 5 favorite records of all time. With 24 tracks clocking in at just under 80 minutes, Philippians is a tour de force of Christian music and the Tennessee-based music collective’s best effort yet.

The record, like (most of) their other records, is a concept album, adapting a New Testament epistle into music. Each song's genre varies significantly with each ... read more

How do I dislike a song on Spotify?

40% Lorde, 40% Eilish, 15% Swift, and 5% Paramore. But yet, 100% original. Sounds great, and I am looking forward to her maturing her sound.

Quite prideful at the start. I still can't figure out if he truly acknowledges that. He seems to acknowledge it a few points, but it doesn't seem like he cares about it. It is clear that his ambition has gripped him so hard that he has lost focus on reality. Why are you so mad that you don't get recognition? Yes, I get it, I listened to the record. You're so much deeper than what people think you are. But to prove your point, you've dived too deep! You've make music with no redemption. You've ... read more

Great live album. Some songs have aged poorly.

Most reviewers, me included, haven't really listened to much Afro music before reviewing this record, and I think that is why many don't enjoy this album. I find fault with that, but my main contention with this record is the thematic ideology, not the actual musicianship.

The Lion King originally showed the follies of trusting in a "Hakuna Matata" approach to life. Life has meaning that is subjective, and if you attempt to live like a boar when you're a lion, it will not work. At ... read more

Regular Passenger. Fans will enjoy, but this probably won't win anyone over.

Where are all the h8rs from a decade ago complaining that Swift only wrote love songs?

This is exactly the album I expected to hear seeing Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner, and Bon Iver on the credits. This "Antonoff" era of Swift has seen a lot of changes, and this record is definitely different from last year's Lover, but honestly, it is not as far off sonically from Lover than most think. I like to see it as the other side of a two-sided coin, with Lover being on the other side. ... read more

JMM puts out another great record. New, refreshing, innovative. Favorite track is Pilgrim.

Truth be told, I've never been a Shane & Shane fan. And this release didn't change anything for me. I love worship, but the style of worship is really distracting. Crooning at points, unnecessary long bridges, and cover-band that overproduced.

Lyrics are solid. Instrumentation is super meaningful and provides so much to this record. So glad to hear more Christian music that is not bland and boring like CCM or CWM (worship).

The story of Taylor Swift's [Fearless] and her rise to popularity is as much of a story of great marketing as it is well made music.

I still remember in elementary school when I first heard "Teardrops on my Guitar" from her first record [Taylor Swift] play on the local country stations. All my friends, if they listened to music, listened to pop or Disney stuff, they never heard of Taylor Swift back then. Honestly, I thought I was pretty cool. Back then, in 2006, Nashville was already ... read more

Canadian country? It exists. And it's not that bad. Of course, its pre-Garth Brooks country. But in a world now filled with pop ____ genres [fill in the blank], this record is quite refreshing. "The Consumer" is a great starter, "The Last Fatal Duel" is about exactly what you expect, and of course, the classic "The Hockey Song" never gets old.

After a long break from pop punk, I thought I'd never find any pop punk that would itch my soul. But then I heard this record. I've never heard of Jeff Rosenstock before, but this album is so solid. It reminds me of old Blink-182, except Mark Hopper could sing and yell a lot better. Good pop punk doesn't just have good fast tempos and drums, but it should also have a great melody. The melody in "NO TIME" is surprising good, I never thought that that fast of a song could still have ... read more
