"I was particularly apprehensive to delve into this album. The running time and density that I had been hearing about certainly didn't inspire much confidence. And you know what? It turned out fine, because this album is incredible. Yeah, some of it is a bit self-indulgent and seemingly arbitrary,..." [+] Reply

"When this was released back in 2011 it was on repeat for several weeks on my stereo and Ipod. This may be the greatest pure rock album released in 10 years or so. This is so plain and pure as it gets. Draws on all big references from 60's and 70's rock music. A shame Girls broke up, because Chris..." [+] Reply

"I usually begin by commenting on the production, but here I feel like making an exception., becayse I am such a big fan of his rapping. His delivery is a bit weird, a bit like he doesn't even care anymore, maybe that's why it's so addictive and so memorable. Most of the guests are in the same moo..." [+] Reply

"Seasons (waiting on you) is a fantastic opening track, he's certainly got some unique dance moves from what I've seen on letterman. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album!" Reply

"what the hell i've listened?! pure creativity, genuine and magical creativity. Nico's avantgarde is everywhere, polished by ambient electronic, free jazz echoes and art pop music at its best. By far, my personal favourite album from 2018." Reply

"The 2010’s have been a particularly rough decade for Indie Rock and Rock in general. It’s been easy to become weary of UK/US artistes with nothing interesting to say no matter how many ideas are thrown at the wall. Cometh the hour, cometh the man and the most engaging and idiosyncratic frontman i..." [+] Reply

"I think this is still moving up my list as time goes on. Not only is it a solid, consistent album, you are starting to see its influence on others. There's an 80s-ish feel to this maybe but it's also truly contemporary. Nary a bad track." Reply

"I don't think there is a single weak track on this album, although there are certainly plenty of stand-out tracks. Giving Bad People Good Ideas rivals Get Got and Beware for the title of "best opener to a Death Grips album". The well-sung female vocals counter Ride's outbursts and the extremely a..." [+] Reply
