"A very very good album. I hadn't listened to it, even though I'm a big fan of the Flips because of the nature of the project, but it really is a nice piece and step in their career. As a comment below puts its, it's a return to form. This sounds kinda like their late 90's, early 2000's era, which..."  [+]  Reply

"Stupidly good. It's almost laughable at times due to how many ideas Steven has. Never feeling intrusive or over-elaborate, he manages to create a double album for the ages, with some incredible features, notably Tierra Whack, George Clinton, Anderson .Paak and Denzel Curry. There's no doubt in my..."  [+]  Reply

"This album sees John Dwyer's garage/psych rock outfit delve into slinkier grooves and lengthier jams than any previous outings. With two tracks clocking in over 14 minutes and others ripping past in just under 2, the sound and pacing here is gleefully splintered and awkward, just like the cult kr..."  [+]  Reply

"On this ninth studio opus, built as a concept-album, the Manchester combo finds A LITTLE groove of his youth. On a certainly monotone tempo, the pieces are linked without breaks. The robotics "Eve Of Destruction" immediately imposes its frantic pace. The musical recipe has not changed fundamental..."  [+]  Reply

"a cult classic years down the road, calling it right now. Besides that, this is pure noise-pop bliss. The vocals are recorded on a headset with a mic in someones bedroom and if that isn't lo-fi dedication, I don't know what is"  Reply

"Injury Reserve never desappoint me. In hopes of popularizing the Phoenix Rap scene, Injury Reserve, a group of two rappers, rappers Stepa J. Groggs and Ritchie With a T, and producer Parker Corey, take up the codes of hardcore hip-hop and sometimes jazz rap and combine them with the kind of exper..."  [+]  Reply
