"Silhouettes is an amazing song and takes up 1/4 of the album’s runtime. If the whole album were like it this would immediately make my top 50. Unfortunately the rest of the album is just OK. EDIT: Rest of the album wound up growing on me quite a bit"  Reply

"Not their best recordings but a decent stepping stone to their great period to come. It's not a real album, more a compilation, and that's why it's a little uneven. Still good but not quite the greatness of their next handful of releases."  Reply

"Not quite as strong and consistent as, greivous Angel, would be, but still a fine album of great songs. We'll sweep out the ashes, she, and, how much I lied, are three of the standouts. An extremely influential LP."  Reply

LP5 
"The electronics may sound slightly lightweight in comparison to Autechre's previous work, but I was completely bowled over by the final two tracks which is exactly when my heart began to swell until the very end of LP5. Complex and intricate as always, this is yet another fine piece of work from ..."  [+]  Reply

"Can get a bit daft lyrically at times, and has some annoying hooks, but overall a very strong album with mostly solid production and good turns from several features - Jay Rock, Raekwon, Kendrick. Blind Threats and Break the Bank are the main standouts for me, the latter should be a strong conten..."  [+]  Reply

"Hval tries a more "fun" album following the dark and mesmerising Menneskekollektivet. Though I'm cetainly partial to a bit of Hval, I've followed her for most of her discography, Classic Objects is one of the most listenable projects she's done, maybe even more so than Apocalypse Now and The Long..."  [+]  Reply
