"While Faces will likely always be my favourite project of his, this just might be his most consistent and compact project to date. There aren't any songs that feel like filler or pandering to his old frat-rap sound as he's found necessary on previous albums. It's a straightforward collection of s..." [+] Reply

"Much more musically varied than Pure Comedy, which to my ears is a good thing. There's less of a concept here though, which I'm also fine with. The songs are, as usual, thoughtful, intense, philosophical and hilarious. Jonathan Wilson's production is also brilliant, as always. I really want to ha..." [+] Reply

"This album is all over the place but not in a bad way. Track 1 is pretty poppy and fun, track 2 has a middle eastern vibe to it but still sounds like it could be the same album as track 1. Then track 3, Pyramid of Bones, comes on and I’m blindsided by a straight up metal track. There are some mom..." [+] Reply

"This album is just fucking amazing. I don't know why this hasn't been getting more attention. It's style is something I'm in love with. It's catchy and pop, but experimental and fresh at the same time. I will loop it for the next couple of days. Favorite songs: Velvet 4 Sale, Poem, Time" Reply

"The progression we needed from travis, not as bloated and self indulgent as rodeo while retaining its experimentality, bangers, and its perfect utilization of features, moreover it harks back to the darker nature of days before rodeo while keeping the songs sleek like on birds in the trap, only s..."

"Criticisms for this record seem to stem from bashing Kanye the person rather than Kanye the artist. Furthermore, there's a silly "Oh, the album's way too short to have any impact" critique circulating everywhere which is wholly unjustified. Are we saying that Pusha T's latest album (of similar le..." [+] Reply

"I like the album. As a stand alone piece of music its a good deadpan indie rock record. But as a follow up to Sometimes I Sit & Think.. I just see no growth. Which I won't necessarily hold against her, since its not a bad sounding album either way and an artist doesn't always need to find a new s..." [+] Reply
