"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

"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

"This is actually a lot better than I anticipated, and almost the opposite of what I expected sound wise. I really thought the band would go in a more pop-direction on this album with all the recent success, but they didn't. In fact, they almost went the opposite direction with more laid out garag..."  [+]  Reply

"Perhaps one of the greatest things about music is its ability to showcase the intimate portions of the human experience without sounding invasive. People have an obsession with watching other people, an obsession with voyeurism (to a point), seeing what other people do in what are typically priva..."  [+]  Reply

"It’s a good album and for the most part, it’s a solid project. Is it the best J. Cole project? I think Friday Night Lights is better but this one is up there. He was smart to make project without any feats. I personally don’t like feats, when I hear a hip hop album, I’m there to hear it all from ..."  [+]  Reply

"It's got a nice vibe to it and Angel has a great, emotive voice. I liked the album but I don't think I could give it any more praise than that, as it is just not resonating with me the way it seems to for others. The longer the tracks go on the more my mind begins to wander, no matter how much I ..."  [+]  Reply

"You can always rely on Caribou putting together a pleasant album but sometimes the "pleasantness" gets a little samey. Thankfully Our Love doesn't suffer from that - even when two or three tracks in a row sound similar, he throws in something like Second Chance. Best track: Second Chance. It's th..."  [+]  Reply
