"(Well, it’s another excellent Lana Del Rey album. Lyrically excellent and balanced. Musically lush yet stripped down with just the right amount of subtle spice and variety added in to keep it low key riveting. If you like her standout 2019 album, you’ll like this. Probably my fave Lana album yet...."  [+]  Reply

"This is actually very decent. Much better than the crap they've been putting out in the last 10 years. Here they atleast have some energy and a couple of really strong singles."  Reply

"with Iris being possibly the best rock ballad EVER written and the rest of the album being a decent soft rock collection it bugs my mind how in the world this album is not in top 10 of '98 on this site."  Reply

"I haven't been this excited about finding a new artist in quite a while. There's such a catchy energy behind these songs, especially the lead single Default and songs like Zumm Zumm and Wor. Even though they seemed to be listed as "Experimental" they really come off as more of a streamlined Anima..."  [+]  Reply

"Well, it's not the smartest album that The Shins have ever done but you know what? After all the albums that I've listened to over the last couple of years, sometimes it's nice to just hear some simple pop once in a while. I like the songs like For a Fool and 40 Mark Strasse where I can just kick..."  [+]  Reply

"Absolute masterpiece! Saw her live as opening act for Lana Del Rey and she is an actual goddess. Her EP Por Vida was very promising and she absolutely delivered. Favorites include "Miami", "Flight 22", and "Dead To Me" Can't wait to see what she does next!"  Reply

"Crazy stuff, very reminiscent of Daughter's "You Won't Get What You Want," but in a hip hop version. Ominous atmosphere, with plenty of runtime comprised of suspenseful rapping over minimalist or noisy (even all-out screechy at times) background beats. My opinion is that this form of music is not..."  [+]  Reply
