"PHENOMENAL. Great album, builds more upon his Debut record rather than 2013's "Overgrown", and that was certainly the best move. My favorite release of this year thus far, hands down! As of May 7th."  Reply

"Been years since I heard this but recently reconnected and loved it - forgot about those album tracks like King Volcano, Who Killed Mister Moonlight, Slice of Life, Honeymoon Croon and Hope. These include some lighter moments from eth masters of gothic"  Reply

""New Miserable Experience" is an alt-pop gem borrowing from big star, and is near-perfect in its effortless alt-poppy-ness. Almost every track sounds like a hit. This is another album that closes with a pseudo-alt-country song at the end called "cheatin'" which has the fun line "you can't call it..."  [+]  Reply

"How do you critique in album that lives so far outside of expectations? One that shows clear reckless abandon for what the listener might want at any given moment? No Now effortlessly blends those all too familiar 90s boy band hooks into glitchy, dense, abysmally dark electronic music. The human ..."  [+]  Reply

"I only recently rediscovered this and realized that this was likely the first album that I fell in love with as a full product. Gaga's truly had it together since day one. Even on top of the nostalgia value, all the songs still hold up."  Reply

"A solid contender for Pop AOTY. The production is definitely the highlight, but the singer's voice is good too. So versatile and malleable with every song. This is very interesting stuff, im excited to see what more this band/collective comes up with. That baby sneeze bit in Nobody Cares gets me ..."  [+]  Reply

Australia Jet
"I think that this was one of the definitive albums of the 00's. Jet's "Get Born" was possibly one of the safest Rock 'n Roll phenomenon's of all time. I mean, c'mon, what's safer than an Australian ACDC/Iggy Pop/Supremes hybrid ? I prefer it to any album that The White Stripes, The Strokes, The V..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a perfectly okay album, but Olsen has lost any x-factor I thought she once had. I'd rather listen to 70s country classics than this project – because that's literally what this album is emulating, just with gay themes and ill-fittingly clean production. Olsen is able to make the genre shi..."  [+]  Reply
