"Love everything about thks album. Maybe just some of the lyrics don't interest me much but everything is still very poetic and original.

"Predetermined prejudice if I've ever seen it. Average track rating: 86 Average album rating: 79 Stop blindly hating on this music and actually develop a REAL opinion on it for once. This has been happening far too often to albums that definitely deserve better than this." Reply

"Pfff the seemingly effortless ease with which DeMarco launches laidback classic after laidback classic puts a lot of less modest songwriters to shame. Great record." Reply
