Out of the wretchedness of life at its worst comes a thing of great beauty. After the acrimonious disintegration of the Beatles, Lennon set about building his solo career. In 1971 he released his most successful solo album. The title song asks the listener simply to imagine a Utopian world.

Kayleigh Fraser ✨Published 10 months ago in CritiqueShe Loves You
The very first Pop and Beatles record I ever heard. It changed my life forever! It's a joyful message from a friend to a friend, She Loves You. The song launches into the hook right out of the gate and races to an exuberant, exultant end. It changed the world.

Number one in the USA in 1963, and one of the world's best-selling singles of all time, in Japanese! A song about a man who looks up to the sky as he walks so that his tears of sadness will not fall. The song is full of meaning and inspiration.

With his first album in five years, Isakov wraps me in the warmest golden aura. Never in a hurry, it commands me to sit still.

I spent hours as a kid examining your cover art. Someone in google reviews said he got laid to this album so many times. Enough said.
Ariel JosephPublished 10 months ago in CritiqueNavigating Nature's Challenges
In the vast and intricate fabric of existence, humanity's role is akin to a delicate thread woven within nature's intricate tapestry. In this expansive weave, each strand unfurls lessons, trials, and occasionally, unanticipated perils. Among these challenges lies the formidable sting of the yellow-legged hornet—a creature of striking allure that wields the potential to disturb the harmony between humankind and the natural world.
Olalere PraisePublished 10 months ago in CritiqueSay what you need to Say
This critique is about the song "Say" by John Mayer. This song, this horrible horrible song. It feels weird to even call this a song. He says the phrase "say what you need to say" 41 times throughout this nearly 4 minute hellscape. They could torture people to this song.

"Aqualung" artfully amalgamates acoustic and amplified aspects, accentuating Anderson's adept artistry. Atonal and aggressive, album's arrangements aptly alternate, allowing Anderson's astonishingly astute and ambiguous anecdotes. Aural adventure, albeit aged, amazes and astonishes, always an admired addition, artistically advancing art rock's allure. An archetype, absolutely absorbing, an all-time affective, arresting classic.
