"This album is one ugly beast. I hated it when I first heard it. It's a heck of a lot darker than anything else The Flaming Lips have put out, but they pull it off SO WELL! Very krautrock/noise-rock influenced. It's also surprisingly their funniest lyrically." Reply

"The Chemical Brothers doing what The Chemical Brothers do best – melodic, collaboration-heavy, big beat anthems. Dance music for the living room as well as the discotheque. Rating: Brilliant Best track: Hey Boy Hey Girl" Reply

"This album is five stars. Wayne is a modern composer equal to any previous or current greats, and this work shows his talents unlike any other album of his, and there are many great albums by Wayne Shorter. The emotions that I feel when listening are of every identifiable type. The compositions a..." [+] Reply

"Honestly, I wasn't all that excited to listen to this. As a Radiohead-head, I often found Thom's solo work (Atoms For Peace included) to be not much more than self-administered homework between Radiohead sessions. ANIMA changes this. Instead of coming off sounding like a bored music student arbit..." [+] Reply

"This would easily be the greatest EP of all time if the last track didn't exist (although, it's a bit long for an EP). Every single song is a 10/10 in my books, which even my most favourite album of all time, Sgt. Pepper's, can't do. This album is so unbelievably amazing besides the risque last s..." [+] Reply
