"Quite the mixed bag on this album and not all of it good. The singles “Walking at a Downtown Pace”, “Black Widow Spider” and “Homo Sapien” as well as closer “Pulcinella” stand out as excellent album highlights, whilst the remaining 7 tracks are a little underwhelming even though I give the band c..."  [+]  Reply

"Cohen is about to turn 80, and I can only say Wow, how can he still be able to write, compose and perform so nice songs at this age. I mean, of course his albums from his 60-70's are probably better, but you can listen to this and just relax while you enjoy the music and his broken voice."  Reply

"I've heard this album described as "The kind of music Prince would have made if he was an introvert." Honestly I can't think of a better description. This album draws heavily from 80's and early 90's R&B, hip-hop, and pop, along with some other surprises, in order to create a beautiful sonic back..."  [+]  Reply

"Glad I got to this one. I've missed proper post rock/slowcore. Scratches the itch of an Idaho or Early Day Miners while also just surprising me at every turn. A fantastic reinvention from Racing Mount Pleasant."  Reply

"Possibly my favourite band of all time. When I heard they were making another album I was a bit worried. What if it's crap? I was happy with their legacy. But not to worry, this is every bit as good s the two albums that preceded it (nothing beats Angel Dust). They didn't miss a beat.."  Reply

"I find this alum really bland and repetitive. I liked Don Cab 2, it seemed really innovative and dynamic, but this seems like lots of the same thing repeated with little variation for 5 or so minutes at a time. Also, the whole happy vibe doesnt really fit well with the genre, at least to me"  Reply
