MichaelBMar 17, 200910Deep, yet accessible due to its fun, melancholy nature. The best of its genre, with its sheer variation keeping you listening again and again.

Nov 11, 201210Just listen to Frontier Psychiatrist, Since I Left you, and Electricity. Then, try to tell me that this album deserves anything less than a perfect score.

AbelL.Jul 24, 200210A great headphone album that would also be a hit at any party. Enjoyable at the first listen, and the 100th too.

GeoffGFeb 28, 200810It's like Night Ripper in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, multiplied by four thousand.

TheAucklanderJun 3, 200310Now, I wouldn't normally give an album a "Ten", but over 2 years after it's release this disc is still my No.1 favourite. I might not play it everyday, but if someone says"Hey, what's your favourite a;bum?" then for the last coupla years the answer's been "Avalanches, "Since I Left You", man.")

MikeSJun 2, 200510Opeed my eyes to sampling and nothing else since has come close. Equinoxx, if you know better please tell me, because this disc is toe tappin' good from the first beat to the last. *Frontier Psychiatrist is worth the purchase alone.

-
CentrifugeTNov 13, 200610Absolutely Brilliant! Off the wall cuts and samples. I've listened to it 100 times and I hear a new beat or fade every time Frontier Psychiatrist should just about single-handedly redefine the genre. It's crazy-cool

EndaPMar 28, 200610I hate to say this, but this may be the best album about the joy of music ever made. I have heard nothing better. A superb, superb, accomplishment.

SamS.Oct 10, 200710It's now almost 2008 and this album still is on top of my cd pile. Nice one Dexta!!

OliverCJan 22, 200810The Avalanches bring a highly original mashup of samples from all over the places, to create their debut album Since I Left You. Everything moulds together perfectly to create a whacky adventure through music, as cliche as it sounds, bouncing with energy through every track. I don't think I've put only a single track on without having to listen to the whole album.

-
WesMOct 8, 200810Since I Left You, when listened to as a whole, is evocative of every huge, nightlong, multilocation banger you've ever experienced.

-
SirIsaacLimeDec 1, 200110Despite what The Onion says, "Endtroducing..." is still the best sample-based album of all time, but this is a close second.

PlastikL.Jun 20, 200210if my job is hearing cd's the avalanches since I left you cd would be my summer lazy-afternoon vacation on a damn cruise.

SpookyJun 29, 200210Since I Left You is a sample-riddled mix-tape you'll swear The Avalanches made just for you.

AnthonyFeb 27, 20039A classic album that shows the true power of the DJ sample. A truly excellent record that will probably never become outdated.

PedreAJun 27, 200310Brilliant unique sound, a lifting tune with a sound that everyone will like, absolutely great to listen to whenever.

ChrisS.Dec 21, 200110Unbelievable album...bought on a whim and now it's a permanent fixture in my stereo. Just sit back, relax, and listen...

ArmanT.Dec 31, 200110Strap on a pair of Depends or take a shot of Metamucil when you listen to this album, because you soil your shorts... it's that good.

EllieDec 2, 200210Blows my mind. There was some kid on something at a party who was going crazy to this music. I can only imagine...

DavidMar 11, 20029I didn't realize the genius of this album til I listened to it high. It's a cruise through a sea of music. Brilliant!

JoelM.Sep 27, 200210Made me feel like like I was floating

DavidKJul 24, 200310The best. no doubt about it

nickDec 14, 20059Super incredible technical mixing from a internet user who claims he used to be a DJ for cred but really just owns an ipod. This album is depth.
-
-
mattaJul 21, 20059I'll feel sorry for your taste in music, Larry S. This album is genius. Not just worth checking because of all the samples, but worth checking out because it is just flat out fun to listen to. Put it on in the background of your next party, the perfect soundtrack to a Friday night.

michaeldAug 29, 200510This album is a revelation,never been so moved by sound!

eliahucSep 11, 200610Just an unbelievably emotional dance music album. Comparisons to Discovery aren't unwarranted. Everyone knows it's energetic and fun, but beyond that, tracks like A Different Feeling, Etoh, Close To You, (the whole album, to a degree, really) have a sort of melancholy wistfullness that can't have been accidental. They hit the mark.

R.SkellsSep 14, 200610One of the most unique albums i have ever heard. it surprises you everytime, with the witty, the joyful and the sad. an outstanding album in every sense.

RayKDec 30, 200710Anything other than 10 would be criminal. Listening to it now on the eve of 2008, and it's still so far ahead of the game it's embarrassing.

Jun 9, 201110Enthralling listen, before its time. All 3500+ samples are brought together brilliantly to create a modern masterpiece. I am slightly pissed off though, that being due to the fact that their second album is set to be released 11 years after Since I Left You and one year from now!
-
Apr 11, 201210Un album qui reste pionnier dans son domaine. Le mythe nous raconte que cet album contient 3500 samples d'autres disent 1000 à 1500 samples. Qu'importe, l'assemblage est impressionnant, l'écoute est l'est tout autant. Un grand album !
-
Apr 15, 201310Deep, soothing and fun all tied together in a perfect album. There's just nothing like it out there. I highly recommend listening to it from start to finish for the best experience.
-
90A charming, witty pastiche of mashed up samples, beats, bangs, and bobs.... Truly a breakthrough in the world of dance music.
-
When the technique works, the results are exhilarating. [9 Nov 2001, p.111]

There's little doubt to Since I Left You's status as one of the most intimate and emotional dance records that isn't vocal-based.
