"Hobosapiens is a triumph, an amazing album that any fan of Cale or of experimental music should own. The first four tracks and the last four tracks are all brilliant, but my favourites are “Over Her Head” and “Things”. Also, I love the nice little message hidden in the small print. Not all artist..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is on another level. From the simple premise coming from the radio of the early 20th century evolving into the unknown drifting into space. A dreamy, hazy and uplifting journey."  Reply

"Although it's just an EP, I feel this is the best collection of TV on the Radio in their discography. The title track is sublime, just a slow-moving chill piece with all the notes hitting perfectly with these noises that make you feel like you're on a slow train drifting to nowhere the whole song..."  [+]  Reply

"So many people have panned this album. Most of the negative reviews refer to a certain laziness, as if NCATBS were simply dusting off some old, rejected, songs and churning them out in order to get an album out.

"A hard album to put into words. Beautiful ?? Atmospheric ?? Hypnotic ?? The sense of underlying darkness ?? Whatever it may be this is a brilliant album. Just keeps growing on me and gets better every time. Prog rock on a heavier scale."  Reply
