"Doesn't live up to their first 2 albums, but still a solid album which is one of the best of 2010. Unlike their other albums which have multiple stand out tracks, Blue Beard is the only song which I would put in that category for Infinite Arms. Despite not having any bad tracks, my expectations f..."  [+]  Reply

"Sadly it and "Avocado" fall into the "generic version of themselves" category that most artists end up doing during their career. Riot Act and Binaural are leagues better."  Reply

"I'm in the middle of thinking that this is a work of genius and that it's self-indulgent. Aesop Rock is definitely one of the greatest artists in hip-hop, but this is way too long "Daylight" is a classic though, fantastic song."  Reply

"Some weak lyrics here and there and some slightly generic metal riffs, but the instrumentation and vocal delivery are gorgeous. Not a masterpiece, but a good enough symphonic metal album. Mother Earth and Never-ending story are the highlights for me."  Reply

"This is one of those albums that I listened to once and thought was average and mostly unremarkable. But in the following weeks I found myself returning to it more and more. It's now probably my favorite album of 2018 and one of my favorites of the decade. There are so many unassuming hooks that ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is good from start to finish and is a favorite. It is so poppy and as many note, Beatlesque. It is probably their most accessible / college rock / alternative offering."  Reply

"Hammer Horror... I have no idea what she is saying in the song but I am enchanted nonetheless. And that chorus... her voice is wonderful, spooky and otherworldly all at once. The strings are delightful and I think there might be a guitar too, like a really tiny one maybe. Anywhos... that song is ..."  [+]  Reply
