"Very steady throughout with their brand of industrial chug, but I do find it a touch repetitive by the time I get to the end. The version I have has a 12th track called 'Stripped' which is sung in English. It is one of the better songs on the album." Reply

"Lovely work from Kurt Vile. He's really came into his own as an artist and this album is him doubling down on that formula. Great Indie/Americana. Best tracks: Pretty Pimpin, Wheelhouse, Wild Imagination" Reply
