"Great album from KGLW, and also the precursor to their follow-up album and masterpiece; Nonagon infinity. The album's beginning tracks are a wild continuous ride full of hips shaking and head bobbing highlights. It is definitly one of those projects with a remmeberable start. It is also quite sur..."  [+]  Reply

The album really kicks into gear with th..."  [+]  Reply

"Mac Demarco is an artist that I have always enjoyed. His albums are always pleasant enough to listen to, and even more so, his personality is just infectious. That being said, this is the first of his albums that goes above and beyond just being a good listen. You can hear him really going outsid..."  [+]  Reply

"If You are a fan of Kate, this is the undoubtedly best album of 2011. If You are not, You will become one after listening carefully. Do not hurry with opinions, this piece will grow inside You after several tries. Then shall stay there forever. And, although hit is not her best, it is still a pro..."  [+]  Reply

"Was absolutely blown away by this sound, literally and figuratively. I remember thinking "why does music this noise-heavy sound so awesome". I don't know, but it does"  Reply

"Because all music is designed for grown ups who behave responsibly. Music isn't about fun, you have to solve lifes problems, ponder existence and dabble with hamfisted socialist slogans and write songs about anorexia to go with it."  Reply

"this album goes beyond concept. you see, the problem with concept albums is that you can't always listen to tracks separately, you need to listen to the full piece. but donald achieved something great with this one. it's perfect (and ironic?) for a party, it's perfect for when you're feeling lone..."  [+]  Reply

"Feels like a classic of whatever genre it is, after one listen. Billed as being house and I think if you are coming to this expecting just house music, you'd be wrong. I honestly don't listen to much house music but here that genre feels like its the frame to which he's painted a collage of all s..."  [+]  Reply
