Whilst shopping recently in Cardiff (Wales, UK) I heard this album playing and I had to ask what it was. I thought it was so good that I bought it and now it hasn't left my car cd player for atleast three weeks. An album full  of funky tunes and alltogether some excellent music. I just can't wait for  their next album!

I think that this is one of the best albums I have ever heard. I bought it a year ago and I still havn't tired of listening to it. The high points of this album are the songs Sleep the Clock Around, Summer Wasting, Arab  Strap, and Rollercoaster. These are the catchiest tunes I have ever heard.  If you like Nick Drake, The Smiths, Simon and Garfunkle, Billy Bragg, or  Robyn Hitchcock, you'll definitely like this album, and other albums by  Belle and Sebastian

Best album of the year. Amazing. Not a single bad track. Nathan Peachy has the perfect voice for this band (a perfect voice in general actually). Dean Wells (guitar) has bumped it up to an entirely new level.

Best album of the year. "Stupid Girls" is hilarious, "I Have Seen The Rain" is beautiful, and "Mr. President" hits the bull's eye! I can't stop listening to it!

I had the single Anna Sun for quite a time, and had that on my running playlist, and everytime it came up, I always had to check who it was, because it just pumped me up amazingly. After a while I decided to buy the whole album, and they surely didn't disappoint me. The whole album is great, you can listen to it and not skip one song. One of the best new music I've heard this year.

I just bought this album and let me just say, this is one of the best (if not the best) albums that I've heard this year. I'm a true hip hop head and I only listen to underground hip hop and I must say that this album is an absolute classic. Apollo Brown put together some serious hypnotizing beats and Verbal Kent and Red Pill put together some of the best verses of the year. If you love true hip hop then you will love this masterpiece. I'm listening to this album as I type my review! Underground Hip Hop Forever!

when i first heard this album i was cautious not to raise my expectations
very high after listening to the (sissy) linkin park new album and some other artists but from the first song it hooked me and the whole album
was amazing there is a lot of new things here its not like any past system of a down albums. there is some songs that i didn't like that much but
not because they are bad but just not my taste and they were only 2 tracks
the creativity in this album is stunning and i realized that serj was
the creative force behind system of a down so if you didn't buy this album
yet try it you won't regret it. its something new and refreshing and
most of all amazing (highly recommended) hats off to you serj
note: the stand out songs of this album are 1- empty walls 2- sky is over

I would like to start off by saying that this is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Every song is enchanting, for lack of a better word. Capricorn(Brand New Name) is one of my favorite songs...it has an awesome mix of a trancy-rock kinda beats and awesome lyrics. Also, Buddah for Mary...it's such a raw, truthful song. All the songs on the album have a new,  mystical rhythym and the words will cut at your heart with it's brutal honesty. If you are like me and relate alot to this album, then it will really move you(emotionally as well as physically)
The lead singer has an amazing voice, a great talent with words, and an unbelievable energy as well. The whole band has an energy that is "out of this world". I feel as if I can relate to the music, the words, the feelings, and the open-ness presented in this album. It is quite different from anything I've heard, which I like alot. It is extraordinary and it takes my breath away. I give it five stars...it's a MUST HAVE!

ok so you're thinking about buying a new album, and im here to tell you to buy this one!  From the first song to the last this cd is packed with catchy lyrics and a great sound which includes a keyboard.  my favorite song is probably Star Searching, but other great ones include Stuck on You and Dedication.  That's all I have to say about that, this album is one of the best of the year, i strongly recomend it, and i also strongly recomend seeing these guys live cuz they're amazing!  Hope you like it as much as i do!

This album is the best produced album this year.  You can here all the subtleties.  It is very well done.  The versions of the songs are true to the originals, but not just total copies.  I really like this album and going acoustic was a really good choice for this band.

I'm not surprised at all that Jack White has released yet another great album -- this time as a solo artist. That says a lot of Jack's gift to make amazing music, and this album is no exception. In my opinion, it may be the best album released this year.

Although this album is simply under Jack White's name, it is very instrumentally diverse and is very much a band effort. Jack called on an array of talented musicians to assist him record Blunderbuss. Thus, the album is nothing like the White Stripes in terms of minimalism. The album sounds quite full and is composed quite beautifully. Some fans might be disappointed by the lack of electric guitar riffs in this album, but I have no complaints for the music is great. It's hard to really categorize this album with a genre because it ranges, but it's music you would expect from Jack White. The lyrics are sometimes dark and talk a lot about women and their abuses.

Overall, this album is amazing. It was only a few months ago that I found that this album was in the works, and I'm so happy that he made it. It's truly a great achievement and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the magic that is music. Jack has said that he has enough songs written already to start recording another album and I cannot wait!

This is probably my top album of the year. James Blake is an amazing musician. I'm already ready for the next album.

This album will blow you away! 10 superb catchy, melodic songs, with great sound, great instruments and a great voice. forget c&c. These guys know how to make (good) music.  NO chance of stuffiness.  One of my favourite albums of this year so far.

I can't even believe how much ass this album kicks!  I agree with the review that said this is the album of the year.  What a breath of fresh air in an artistically stale musical world we live in these days.  Yummm!!!
