"Heavy RIO influence on this one. All-star Swedish crew works perfectly in a fanfare free jazz sort of way, with metronomic/tribal Amon Düül undertones to it. Really good and haunting."  Reply

"Well I don't know what to say about this really. It is not the Manic Street Preachers I know and love. It's like listening to a film soundtrack from the 1950's or 60's. Very odd indeed."  Reply

"I can't understand why these guys are not more famous. Their level of talent is amazing, this album is a masterpiece.

"I'll never understand the hate on this album. There a still plenty of great songs on this album that any Kid Cudi fan should enjoy. Not to mention good features from King Chip, Kendrick Lamar,a$ap Rocky, and even Father John Misty. The way I see it is, this album doesn't sound a whole lot differe..."  [+]  Reply
