"Not a good album. Too long, too much filler instrumental. Actual Brutal Facts is a good track though." Reply
"I love these guys, but unfortunately for me this a small step down from their first two albums. It feels as though there is less spontaneity and energy, though it isn't too detrimental. They definitely have a lot more focus on intricacy and atmosphere, which is always nice. Still highly recommend..." [+] 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..."

"Progressive rock with a hint of metal. Not a fan of the first track. Loose Heart is an amazing song. I also liked I Believe and Out of Myself." Reply
"My favorite Orb album because it enhances whatever you're doing while listening to it but doesn't require your attention. I wish I could understand why it's ranked so low within the Orb's catalog" Reply

"Sounds a bit too overproduced. The big orchestrations take away the soulfulness." Reply

"It's definitely a worthwhile listen, but I'm not convinced that it's as great as any of its predecessors. "Matangi" is practically as chaotic as its highly underrated predecessor "MAYA", but it lacks the diverse, sonic innovation of that album. It also lacks the fascinating political subtext of A..."

"Album Rating: 69.14 (968/14) Natalia Lafourcade (Cancion - MEX - Apr 25) - Cancionera 24.04.2025 Technically brilliant, as always. I can see why she is so respected and loved, it's just most of the music does little for me. I can admire it just not love it. It only moves me during the brilliant '..." [+] Reply
"In a way, it’s a shame that ‘Bad Habit’ has been so dominant as I found most of the rest of the album to be pretty strong and interesting to be fair, yet living in the shadow of the single." Reply
