"Absolutely brilliant. So much detail and complexity here, and the songs aren't in a hurry either. Definitely the work of somebody who knows exactly what he is doing and possesses an ear for total precision. The production is, of course, stunning (if you didn't know, Jonathan Wilson has produced j..."  [+]  Reply

"Surprisingly good. Undeniably different from their previous albums. Some interesting experimental stuff on it. Taking the band parameters as mainstream and their more commerical past records into account, a good surprise. Favorites: Birth of the Cruel, Nero Forte, Spiders, My Pain."  Reply

"Beat saw the New York duo embrace technology, marrying drum loops to their honeyed space rock. It's ceaseless repetition never wanes but somnambulantly drifts and drifts."  Reply

"What a record, looking at Streams in Spotify or Apple Music ... maybe one of the most underrated metal albums of all time. Not one bad or repetitive song. Vocals, Mix, Production, Guitars, ... everything on point. Gutter Ballet is maybe the best song they ever wrote. Of Rage and War, When the Cro..."  [+]  Reply

"The best sound collage of all time. A relatively modern piece of musique concrète that stretches your imagination of what you consider to be music. Against all odds, this record is extremely enjoyable and beautiful in its own highly eclectic way. I honestly don't care about any possible political..."  [+]  Reply

"Good ol’ Bruno Mars. The man has an amazing voice and is all over the world of pop and hip-hop music. You can always tell a song is going to be popular if it features Bruno Mars or if it is co-written by him. The popular music community just seems to love this guy and you know what? I love him to..."  [+]  Reply

"There are some albums that may not be that great but for one reason or another find a place in a listeners heart. This is one of those albums for me. I was young, life was crappy and this provided a good escape to an 11 year old me."  Reply
