"An absolutely stunning record. Eli, is constantly overlooked and underrated, it is simply one of the greatest albums ever.

"I had high expectations for this album and it's even better than I hoped. The jamming nature of opening track Rattlesnake sets up the album allowing the listener to adjust to the microtonal sound and from then on it's a lot of fun. Immediately wanted to listen to it again after first listen." Reply

"For a while, The Money Store was Death Grips' best album. But The Powers That B (TPTB) is really contending for that spot. It's a bit of an unfair competition considering the fact that TPTB's two sides give it great variety. One really interesting pointer is that both sides feature someone who ha..." [+] Reply

"Now, at last, an indie sensibility is turning into a movement. This (not the repetitive "An Awesome Wave") is the document. Featuring warm foothills, female rebels, and duels. Above all, "love is the warmest color"" Reply

"This is a great example of a band saying "screw it" and doing whatever they want. It feels like the band was just like "Hey, no one's gonna hear this album anyways, let's go nuts." It's crazy and goofy and just pure awesome" Reply

"Without a doubt, one of the most sonically exciting releases all year. This is an album that feels tactile, yet otherworldly in the same breath. Not to mention that the songwriting manages to be concise, without sacrificing versatility. No Shape is a bright (though not Too Bright), uplifting work..." [+] Reply
