"Strong psychedelic album. Usually not a fan of the sitar sound but they put it to good use here. Head On/Pill is a phenomenal opener, and I also really liked 30 Past 7 and the title track." Reply
"Embarrassing that it's so low. Push had hard times between Clipse and MNIMN, but it's one of the best rap albums in years. Those BEATS" Reply
"Many artists have refashioned themselves under a pop-dance music mold. The stylistic shift has worked or not to varying degrees. Speaking of just the last 20 years, the first example that comes to mind is the dizzying plummet of liz phair from indie rock grace to major label puppet. That also bri..." [+] Reply

"Footwork-related electronic music was a relatively new phenomenon for me when I first heard Double Cup in 2013, and this album's contribution to my musical universe was only made more poignant by the untimely death of Rashad Harden the following year from an accidental drug overdose.

"Death Grips continues to not disappoint. I have a hard time even picking a least or most favorite track because I think they are all really good. The opener is just so heavy and that scream is wicked. Birds is wonderfully/weirdly abstract even for Death Grips. This is Violence and Feels Like a Wh..." [+] Reply
"It’s an awfully bold statement, “Save Rock And Roll", especially coming from Fall Out Boy.
