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: Just love the gentle sounds and harmonies of this album...Indie at its best. The blend of musical styles in these songs from folk, to pop to a bit of country at times reminds me of another new artist I have found: Arrica Rose in her new album La La Lost.The more you listen to their music, the more... more info
Customer Review: I was really excited when I heard that Portishead had released a new album.
The whole thing sounds like a half baked effort. I listened to it one time and then tossed it in the trash.
Yuch
Customer Review: I've been trying to get some more variety in my music library lately. Being from Washington, I've heard these guys on the radio a lot, so I figured I'd give them a real chance and picked up Narrow Stairs.

Customer Review: I think this album is a thoughtful and passionate one delivered w/ confidence from a band who is stretching its musical palate. Much like Wilco did with their disc "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", MMJ is declaring that their interests are, and will most likely remain, in flux. They will not simply be thought... more info
Customer Review: This is the first Sigur Ros album I bought and I can personally attest it is a good album. There is Hoppipolla, a truly fine song and the closest thing to a hit song the Icelandic band ever had (it is very familiar as it has appeared on tv shows, etc.). The rest is basically ambiance music, sad but... more info
Customer Review: Sigur Ros has been very busy lately (the last 2 years). After touring endlessly beyond the Takk album around the world, they toured their native Iceland and recorded the experience for a DVD "Heima", which was released last Fall. Just about the same time, Sigur Ros released this collection as... more info
Customer Review: The Icelandic band Sigur Ros, by this point in their career, have redefined and expanded their sound enough times to completely avoid categorization. Are they rock? Are they ambient? Or are they simply some breed of sophisticated pop? The only thing for certain is that Sigur Ros aren't afraid of... more info
