"Bjork of course is always interesting and a new album is always much anticipated. But I have the same problem with "Fossora" that I had with "Utopia", the lack of memorable melodies. On almost every song Bjork just seems to sing in the same key and uses the same vocal phrasing which leave the lis..." [+] Reply

"I had never heard of this person until I reviewed their record (similarly to Earl Sweatshirt), and I was not too pleased with this mixtape. I hate when she has a good or great thing going that just fades away into the realm of conversations that I genuinely don't need to hear, and odd electronic ..." [+] Reply

This album symbolizes imperfection, it's efficient when it's simple, intriguing and fascinating when it gets lost, it's never marvellous but it remains very charming. In an..." [+] Reply

"I think he’s finally released an album that might just rival Person Pitch. Every song offers something to wrap your ears around and I'm really enjoying the gorgeous longing in the penultimate track Elegy for Noah Lou." Reply

"Look, I love First Two Pages of Frankenstein. It's a record that took time for me to appreciate, but that I love like pretty much all of The National's discography. But Laugh Track?

This new project continues to prove the more "pop" ambition of the artist, its content gains in finishing, becomes more accessible.
