Great reviews, good or bad.

I love a great review. A review that really sums up an album briefly is a particular treat. Does not have to be a positive review either (there is an admittedly long but laceratingly bad review of The Pigeon Detectives on the Guardian music website today that is well worth a read).

A mate and I exchange music and we have a rule that you need to describe/review it in a maximum of two sentences. This was inspired by my favourite album review of all time;
Calexico: Black light 'The sound of the band at a Mexican wedding just before the gunfire breaks out'
Anyone care to contribute a really great review excerpt?
