"Another masterclass in mood, tension, orchestration and drama from the great Canadian band - and a fantastic title for the victims of genocide in Gaza. Free Palestine."  Reply

"There would be plenty of reasons to be growing tired of Peggy‘s shtick. Last year's Scaring the Hoes had its moments, but an overly online vernacular and ropey finish stopped it from staying amongst my favourites of 2023 – not to mention his fawning over Kanye earlier this year when offered a pro..."  [+]  Reply

"This is definitely not a B-sides album. Yes, the songs were recorded at the same time as Wall of Eyes but they collated 2 albums of very different aesthetics - the various songs chosen to best suit the feeling they were looking for.

"Really good album. I’ve never heard anything like it in terms of genre blending. I was completely blown away at parts. I think it tapers off towards the end in terms of quality songs."  Reply

"Very impressive stuff! I've been a bit impartial in the past on her music, but this one struck all the right chords for me. My biggest gripe is it's EP length but marketed as an LP. I can't get enough of this one."  Reply

"It is one of those albums you can tell will initially be underwhelming especially after the busy pop heavy Little Dark Age. This album is not a head bopper. It is much more minimalist but that doesn’t take away from some of the beautiful melodies and soundscapes you are used to with MGMT. The alb..."  [+]  Reply
