For fans of shoegaze/dreampop
on May 30, 2015
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Moon King brings a solid album of shoegaze-leaning guitars and drum machines to Secret Life. If you were a fan of their prior EPs or Obsessions compilation, you'll enjoy this as well. The highlight song here is Apocalypse, which is probably the most epic song the band has ever recorded.

Solid comeback album after Algiers
on May 30, 2015
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
The last Calexico album, 2012's Algiers, was a bit of a disappointment for a lot of Calexico fans. Edge of the Sun is probably not the band's finest hour, but it is a nice return to form. Any long term Calexico fan will find this a worthwhile addition to the collection.

good sophomore electropop album from indie band
on April 27, 2015
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Anyone who was a fan of Purity Ring's first album, Shrines, will find Another Eternity enjoyable as well. In general, the hooks on this release are poppier than on the debut, and the songwriting as a whole is a little stronger. That being said, the album is not a very large step forward for the band in terms of style or sound. At this early stage of their career, however, that's not necessarily a problem. If Grimes or Phantogram are in your music collection, you will find plenty to like here also.

Solid album from indie rock legends
on March 31, 2015
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let's cut to the chase: I thought this was a good album, and a surprising treat given it's been ten years since Sleater-Kinney released their last effort, The Woods. That being said, I don't see it as being quite worthy of the hype it's received, including an 8.7 score from Pitchfork. I suspect diehard Sleater-Kinney fans will be overjoyed with this album's very existence, while other fans who have perhaps respected but not loved the band will not have their minds changed.

Major stylistic shift from beloved band
on March 31, 2015
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're reading this review, you probably know by now that this is Belle and Sebastian's "pop/dance" album. It's quite different from anything the band has made before. Out with the Smiths-esque jangle, in with the synths. At the core though, what's most important is the song craft, not the instruments. So how are the songs? The answer is that they are about a B or B+ in comparison to the band's well-worn and loved back catalogue.

Disappointing sophomore album after solid debut
on March 31, 2015
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ex Cops' first album, True Hallucinations, was one of the more promising debut albums of 2013. Any fan of dream-pop/shoegaze found something to like, especially in album highlight "You are a Lion, I am a Lamb." Unfortunately, the band seems to have gone off the rails for their second effort. They've made a decidedly pop-focused move here, resulting in decidedly more banal melodies/instrumentation and lyrics as insipid as anything else you'd be unfortunate enough to hear on the radio.

Best value receiver at this price point

Verified Purchase:Yes
Relatively future-proofed receiver with Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.0, and HDCP 2.2. It is the only receiver at this price point to include all of these features. It also has a phono input.

One of the weakest albums of Morrissey's career
on August 23, 2014
Posted by: NJPT
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unmemorable songcraft and self-righteous, self-absorbed lyrics without any trace of his prior subtlety or wit mark the sad, continuing decline in Moz's once-great talents.
If you're a hardcore Morrissey completist and just have to buy this no matter the reviews or quality, the Best Buy version is the one to get. It comes with an exclusive bonus CD with 6 extra songs.
