"God damn. God DAMN. GOD DAMN. First off, this album just SOUNDS immaculate. Straight analogue recordings with Steve Albini production. The heavily layered guitar drones that Sunn O))) is known for are definitely there, but the DETAILS are incredible! You can hear the movement of their fingers acr..." [+] Reply

"Dancing in the Street, Nowhere to Run, and Mickey's Monkey are the hits on the record. There's some serious awesome bass tone on this record. I also liked Mobile Lil The Dancing Witch and Nobody'll Care." Reply

"Laura Mvula's debut is a welcome breathe of freshness different from Jill Scott & Erykah Badu, whom she lists as influences but there are some similarities. There is also a bit of Bjork in the orchestration. Not a bad track here the standout tracks being Sing To The Moon, Green Garden, She, What ..." [+] Reply

"The Unicorns breakup resulted in the formation of The Islands. The sound is approximately the same, but cleaner and more refined, mature dare-i-say, which results in an album without "Cut Our Hair"'s peaks and mountainous missteps. They genre-hop a bit too, from electronic minor-glitches to hip h..." [+] Reply

"Possibly the best album of the 00's" Reply
"It's ok but two things need to be pointed out: -The sound is awful. The quality of this recording is so poor that almost make it unlistenable. There are 30s and 40s recordings that sound better and clearer than this. -The album turns from R&B to hollow beat/pop from #8 onwards. The quality of son..." [+] Reply
