"Really solid follow up to Light Up Gold, though it shouldnt be compared to its predecessor. Both are completely different albums with individual strengths. Sunbathing Animal's strength lies within its jamming-instrumentation and witty songwriting. Sunbathing Animal and Instant Dissassembly are in..." [+] Reply

"Beautifully written, sung and performed. Abigail Morris is one the finest vocalists in modern music. A buffet for the ears" Reply
"The first cinematic and neon lit masterpiece from the Blue Nile. Like it's successor, hats, it's that perfect late night album, at the time between midnight and dawn. Romantic and lovely." Reply

"McKinley Dixon has come into his own as one of music's most thoughtful emcees. The heart and soul that he puts into his work shines through in every bar, every beat, and every minute detail is stunning. It's a joy to experience his music" Reply

"Hot take, but this is the better album between this and Folklore. Dessner's production and writing grounds the album, lots of fantastic collaborators, and just more fulfilling. The final track, Evermore, is Swift at her all-time best." Reply

"One of those John Coltrane albums that's either genius or nonsense, depending on what mood I'm in. It sometimes works for me, other times it just annoys and frustrates me. Am i trying to like it? Do I like it? Or do I hate it? I don't know, I really don't know." 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

"I've always thought that when someone (the longer-than-life critics establishment, fans, etc) review and album, the review actually should be written in the context to the album, the band and the music genre. I would never review a hip hop album because I do not like hip hop at all. Well, that's ..." [+] Reply

"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
