"This album stunned me. Prophetic, apocalyptic, tender and dark. It made me realise just how powerful music can be when it has poetry in the lyrics, and just how lame most song lyrics really are. I read an interview with Mogwai once. They asked them why they don’t write lyrics for their music. The..."  [+]  Reply

"No track really stands out on this record like certain show-stoppers on "Ten Love Songs", but Susanne Sundfør has crafted an elegant art pop / chamber folk record that maintains its melancholic yet hopeful mood extremely well and transcends the "pleasant but not much more" critique that other art..."  [+]  Reply

"The singles are excellent but the rest is a bit ropey. Example : The Piper, The Way Old Friends Do, and Andante Andante charter new depths into how cringe-worthy you can get."  Reply

"This album has successfully managed to open my eyes (or ears rather..) to metal vocals. I've never liked metal vocals, EVER. This one did it for me. After the first couple listens I kept telling myself that an instrumental version of the album would be perfect, however every listen since then has..."  [+]  Reply

"This is truly a great album with surprising songs. I remember I heard the song Instant Street for the first time, I loved it immediately and I love it still. Even the last song is mesmerizing."  Reply

"Their 2018 album was my favorite of that year. This one is great but I don't think I like it as much. It's definitely more emotional and spiritual but not as fun. It will probably stay pretty high in 2023 at least and was my most anticipated album this year. My expectations were pretty high and f..."  [+]  Reply

"The fact that this album was played ad nauseum for a year or two, and features Santana partnering with Rob Thomas (gag!) overshadows the actual quality here. It's slick, overproduced and a little shallow, but it's still decent. Not worthy of the hype at the time, but not worth a huge backlash eit..."  [+]  Reply
