"Their best since, The Lion's roar. It's growing on me with each listen. When I first heard it I thought it was okay but repeated listens bring out the songs more and more. A good record."Reply

I was a fan when 'Pod' very 1st came out on record , yes RECORD which I cherish to this day , then 'Safari' and naturally 'Last Splash' . The Breeders have always been near and dear to my heart
Fast forward many years and I found 'Tile TK 'ok and didn't enjoy 'Mountain Battles ' at all which brings us to 'All Nerve ' and its good . Actually its better than good
The classic Breeders line up of the Deal sisters , Josephine Wiggs and Jim MacPherson along with Steve Albini back in the chair appears to have done the trick with that Breeders sound all there .
Being Australian I was super happy hearing Courtney Barnett on backing vocals , also Wiggs gets her 1st lead local on the track 'MetaGoth '
25 years since 'Last Splash ' was released The Breeders are back and I couldn't be happier
Satisfying

"This is a good album but I was waiting the whole album for it to be great and it didn't become what I thought it could be. The first half is all nice smooth .Paak (besides Tints, blatant radio bait). All enjoyable but there is something missing that could take them to the next level, I'm not sure...""This is a good album but I was waiting the whole album for it to be great and it didn't become what I thought it could be. The first half is all nice smooth .Paak (besides Tints, blatant radio bait). All enjoyable but there is something missing that could take them to the next level, I'm not sure what that is. Then comes Mansa Musa. Not a great track with a weak Dre feature but whatever. Brother's Keeper is where I thought it was going to pick up and it did, good song with a good feature and a great outro. The song with Snoop is also pretty good, Snoop being the driving force. The rest of the songs (excluding the outro) are almost ruined by poor, in my opinion, features. .Paak has moments of emotion that aren't matched by either other artist. J-Cole's verse is not good and doesn't fit the song. Q-Tip just changes the flow of the song, unnecessarily, after .Paak sets it up emotionally. The final track is boring pop that sounds like it was made for an NBA on TNT commercial. Overall, the features do a decent amount to take away from the quality of the album but .Paak is not without blame. I know he likes gangsta shit, as he says, but I think it would benefit the music in the future if he incorporated a little more soul into future projects as he has done in the past.

"It took a few listens but I'm there now , this album goes ok .

The star of the show is no doubt Iceland born vocalist Rakels Mjoll who sounds like BJORK jacked up on whisky and steroids with her quite unique and rather cute vocal range.
Also I'm generally not a lyrics guy but there are some powerful topics covered here which include rape , sexuality and stereotypes and are well worth paying attention to understand .
So yes recommended for sure , currently sits on my Best Of 2018 list and I recon it will probably stay there for the year .

If you in any way like Big Thief I highly recommend this album "[+]Reply
"One of the most interesting albums of 2018. This band took the sound of famous bands like Kraftwerk or Cabaret Voltaire with post-punk influences mixed with dark textures and, a minimalist modern sound, all singed in its own lenguage. The world needs more bands like these witch let you enjoy them...""One of the most interesting albums of 2018. This band took the sound of famous bands like Kraftwerk or Cabaret Voltaire with post-punk influences mixed with dark textures and, a minimalist modern sound, all singed in its own lenguage. The world needs more bands like these witch let you enjoy them from first listen. My favorite electronic band of these last years.
Not all the best albums must be complex and slow!"[+]Reply
"A deeply personal and introspective record. I love this album. The production is great, gotta love that dry drum sound. Jeff Tweedy is writing better lyrics than he ever has."Reply
