"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

"This album really takes you on a ride right from the start and really shocked me when I first heard it. The sound is unconventional and quite unique which is mainly down to the vocal by Jordaan Mason. His harsh and raw voice fits the musical styling perfectly and when you combine that with the un..."  [+]  Reply

"What a surprise, people on this hipster-ass site hate this album. This is one of the most important albums of the 2010s; it contains two important things where the 2010s stand for and she did it before it was a thing: the rap/singing multi-tasking, and breaking gender norms.
