"I listen to hip hop, jazz, rock, electronic, pop, classical, post-punk, trap, RnB, art pop, reggae, metal, whatever, but I don't listen to a lot of punk or grindcore.

"Most of the time it sounds like someone vomits into my ears. Very unpleasant to hear. He also sounds very dumb. Don't understand the hype, this is not good music." Reply
"Not mind blowing, nothing really new, but still a solid contribution to their discography. Not sure what else they can do at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sounds like their older stoner rock blended with Villains, in a good way. Songwriting and musicianship are as tight as ever, especially live.

"Feels like a slightly stripped down and perhaps more immediate piece of work from Simz in comparison to the epic conceptual heights of her previous album 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert', mixed with a dash of SAULT-esque rootsiness via the occasional inclusion of traditional percussion or gospel ..."
