"Never in my life did I think I would listen to anything from Harry Styles let alone take the time to write a review. As much as it pains me to say this... this album is actually pretty good. Sure some of the songs sound similar but as a whole it's something I enjoyed listening to and will listen ..." [+] Reply

"The Expectations were surpassed, believe the hype kids, Sufjan allows Carrie & Lowell to bloom in various possible ways, a tree that has dozens different types of flowers from roses to violets." Reply

"did bono take his cape off? he sounds so much more human and vulnerable than he has in a long time. the production has been stripped back a lot, to the band's credit. the production absolutely suffocated SOI. here, the band goes back to sounding like a band - just four irish dudes in a room. i'm ..."

"Didn't realize that I never reviewed this before. This is unlike anything Future has put out before. It's an experiment that, in my opinion, worked. I enjoy Future's voice whether he's rapping or singing and he does well doing both on this album. The subject matter can be a bit pompous at times a..." [+] Reply

"Opening track, In The Morning I'll Be Better, is beautiful. Naturally it's downhill from there, but there are still some nice tracks to follow - my other highlights being My Emotions are Blinding and Please Don't Ruin This For Me." Reply
"I was pleasantly surprised by Waxahatchee's last album after not caring at all for Cerulean Salt. So, I didn't know what to expect. That in mind, this has to be her best record yet. Nary a subpar track on the record. Give it a listen, for sure." Reply

"This album is let down by its inconsistency , there are 3-4 good tracks & plenty of average ones and couple that just don’t work at all This release doesn’t quite hit the mark but there’s enough here for me to keep an eye on this group for future releases, I recon there is a great album just arou..."
