"The only album I've heard by the band thus far. Atlantic is fantastic, but the rest is just a tad too poppy for me. Still good, though. EDIT: I'm getting into this album alot more now; the songs are well constructed and the keyboards and electronics add a nice atmosphere to it. It's definitely in..." [+] Reply

"In addition to "The Funeral", the last 3 tracks are also phenomenal with "Monsters" being one of my favorite songs EVER! With those 4 amazing tracks, the rest of the songs could've been a collection of fart noises and I still would have loved this album. Luckily for the listener the other tracks ..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic album, criminally underrated - how this isn't even in the top 1000 confounds me. This album perhaps sees the Lips at their most versatile, the album with the most dynamic range - rocking hard on one song to creating astounding beautiful music on the next and not a weak track here (well,..."

"You can hear it on "If Looks Could Kill". This band not only evokes Belle and Sebastian but shows potential to surpass them. Yes, it's a lazy comparison but it's so obvious it's undeniable. "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken" pays its own homage as a beautiful way to start off their brand of swe..." [+] Reply

"My favorite of theirs, by a decent margin. The perfect balance between their super heavy sludgey stuff and the progy sound they evolved to later. Full of great riffs, and Brahn Dailor's drumming is as top notch as ever." Reply

"If "blacklisted" tried to seduce you, then neko's "fox confessor brings the flood" tries to speak to your mind. Of course, it's that sultry voice that i keep coming back for and by the time "hold on, hold on" kicks in, my mind's mush. It's the devil she loves, singing "I leave the party at three ..." [+] Reply

"Top to bottom this is just one of most beautifully produced rap albums ever I've heard. And the raps are so damn sexy too. Man, I just think this is basically a perfect, filler-free, all banger filled masterpiece. There's absolutely no fat here. No bs skits, nothing but absolutely astounding beat..." [+] Reply

"At this point, despite having been the most consistent Wu member in terms of his solo albums, I don't know how many would expect to reach the levels of Supreme Clientele again. As far as I'm concerned, he managed to surpass it (admiteddly you could easily argue in favor of any of those two, both ..." [+] Reply
