"It's a poor man's Oracular Spectacular, which isn't as much of an insult as it sounds but the parallels are out there. Sleepyhead and The Reeling are catchy little pop tunes that will probably remind you of MGMT's Time to Pretend and Kids. Hopefully they'll get to stretch their legs a little more..." [+] Reply

"Incubus's best album with Morning View to follow a close second. The Warmth is the best track here with a great guitar effect throughout Pardon Me, Drive, I Miss You Are fantastic. Tracks 1 through 3 are solid. Stellar is good too. There isn't a bad song here and the pinnacle of Incubus powers." [+] Reply

"If the Enz were New Zealand's version of The Beatles then this is surely their finest moment with commercial sensibilities that outweigh the artistic achievement of 'Mental Notes'." Reply
"An incredible album. Very underrated because of the band's reputation of being metal core but this is a real masterpiece" Reply
"I listen to hip hop, jazz, rock, electronic, pop, classical, post-punk, trap, RnB, art pop, reggae, metal, whatever, but I don't listen to a lot of punk or grindcore. This appealed to me despite that. Quite a lot of variation in production. And so much justified anger. I'll hear it again and perh..." [+] Reply

"This brilliant fairy-tale sketched concept album essentially evokes the inner-workings of the imaginatively fertile mind of its protaganist, Daevid Allen. The album combines surrealism, anarchist philosophy and expressionist theatre within a rich tapestry of jazz, rock and ambient music in a way ..." [+] Reply

"My AOTY by far. So many incredible moments. There is so much to process here. Everytime you think that you've comprehended whatever a beat was trying to do, it would switch up or you'd be focussing on a verse instead and miss something. So this is certainly worthy of repeated listens. One of my f..." [+] Reply

"For me... Tracks Of My Tears is one of the best songs ever written. Somehow it hits home for me. People think I'm all nice and happy when I don't feel that way. Problem with this record is only the hits are really worth my time. So I'll be listening to his greatest hits." Reply

"Layered harmonies, strong melodies offbeat arrangements and instrumentation add to this psychedelic album. For best results "Black Foliage" should be experienced with headphones, eyes closed and mind open." Reply
