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

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

My all time favourite. Summer funk that just doesn't stop.

absolutely fantastic,the perfect summer record

The first classic of dance music of the century.

Now, 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.")

Seamless, awe-inspiring.

The best album I have heard in a very long time!

Wow!

Opeed 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.

Absolutely 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

I 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.

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

The 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.

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

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

I really cant believe i was tricked into buying this CD i should have when i went to strawberries and they didnt have it , dont get me wrong i do see potetential cleaning with this record on, but i was so confused by the back and forth skip of this cd that i lost interest after a while . well the 1st day i bought it . sorry guys. just my opinon.

This is very good music.

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

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

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 A truly excellent record that will probably never become outdated.

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

not quite a masterpiece, but darn close, very close.

A classic.

i loved this cd, it is a classic and simply the best!!

This has to be the most overrated cd ot the last 10 years. Sure it sounds different from other cd's, but so does the sound of a dentist drill. I have no desire to hear either sound again.

Truly one of the greatest albums of all time.

Just fucking brilliant!

This may be one of the greatest achievements in the history of music

This is one of those albums where you listen to from front to back and don't want it to end. Definitely one of my favorite albums

I got this album about 2 weeks ago, and havn't listened to a different album yet. I have listened through it about 10 times, and it is one incredible album. My only complaint would be that towards the end of the album it because a little to ambitious, and creative, in a way it looses focus a bit. But you could also respect this aspect. All in all, you need to hear this album, it';s one of the greatest of the decade.… Expand

oh yes thank you

Album of the year so far...

can't wait for this album to spark in north america

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

Strap 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.

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

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

When I first heard this CD I wanted to immediatly return it. But I forced myself to listen and it grew on me a bit but then hit a plateau. I think because the music is all samples and it doesn't seem to have a soul of its own.

Made me feel like like I was floating

At frist listen i thought this was a excellent album but after another it just got on my nerves and sounded totally stupid especially when compared to sample masterpiece "Endtroducing"......

The best. no doubt about it

Super 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.

Very good album, would give 7.5 if I could. I thought 9 initially then I considered other albums I own of this type...

I'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.

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

Just 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.

One 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.

Anything 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.

One of best electronic music albums of history.

i love the cd. its one of the best ones i have

Normally, I don't give out 10's but... This record reminds me of when the TV and the Radio was worth listening to. It reminds me of lying down on the couch with the sun's rays through the curtains of your house. It's a small, maybe medium place, but it's your own house, your property and you love it. This record reminds me of the only thing good about summer; the mood it puts on everything else. In short, I love this album.… Expand

Enthralling 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!

This record is to be listened to as a whole from start to finish. It's a long collage of different mixes and sounds. If your into mixing and the like it's good but if you like a good structured song then this is not for you. I'm sure some people think this album is great but I think the album is over rated in general. I'll give it credit in that it is original and tries to break some new ground and considering it's over 10 years old, it still sounds very fresh and modern but the mashed together style doesn't appeal to me for a whole album.… Expand
