"This is one of my favourite albums of the 00's. Truly a beautiful and unique experience to listen to from beginning to end. EITS are one of the most underrated bands of our time." Reply

"I guess what a 2019 gospel album would really sound like: constant digi-stutter slicing, vast vocal echo chambers, smoothed-out trap underpinnings and the kind of meta-introspection that has ruled much of the later 10's. A far more fleshed-out display of her talents than her debut, which just fel..." [+] Reply

"NO! You can't have a song called 'I've Never Been In Love Before' on an album with a song called 'I Fall in Love Too Easily'! This makes no sense! You're a blatant liar Chet Baker and you know it!" Reply

"I grew up with Gorillaz (starting with Demon Days,) and working backwards has been strange. That album is definitely more accessible, but this isn't Demon Days. It's more ambitious, in that it isn't afraid to try all kinds of different sounds that still work with one another really well. Damon Al..." [+] Reply

"Why they didn't put the full version of perfect kiss on here is beyond me. Every time I hear this album I always wish it wouldn't fade out! What the hell were they thinking cos the full version is one of the best things I've ever heard. It fades just at the point it goes from fantastic to mind bl..." [+] Reply

"This album has a LOT of filler (way more than The Wall), but when a song hits, it blows your mind. "Just Like You Imagined" may be the greatest rock instrumental ever made, and "Into the Void" is absolutely the crystal-clearest picture of the "depraved road". "La Mer", "Pilgrimage", "We're In Thi..." [+] Reply
