"For those angry about our world today, Brutalism is the record we've been waiting for. Vivacious, loud and essential. Blends a phenomenal concoction of noise rock, punk and grunge and delivers it with all the sternness of a sledgehammer. The pace is fast and urgent, opening with three outstanding..." [+] Reply

"Father John Misty is the moniker for former Fleet Foxes drummer Joshua Tillman. Knowing this helps you to understand the sound of this album better as it sounds a fair bit like a Fleet Foxes album. This album, however, does not sound like an exact copy of a Fleet Foxes album, but you can hear the..." [+] Reply

"I'm upset they removed "slowtown" from "regional at best" in remaking it to become "vessel" but the album is still high quality. good work from an upcoming band" Reply

"*Sigh*. This album is complete trash. I like all of the songs from 'Electric Blue' to 'We Don't Deserve Love' (the latter being a song that I love, which may be surprising given the rating that I gave the album), but the rest of the album completely fails. 'Chemistry' gets a bad rap, it's bad, bu..." [+] Reply

"After hearing their first album (which was ok but mostly just felt like a compilation of pop singles), I was pleasantly surprised by this record... In many places, it uses 80s synthpop elements and re-invigorates them with the band's rougher, weirder edges to get a really addicting sound (Love Me..." [+] 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

"Wonderfully experimental. This is the only album of it's kind and has the potential to influence pop for years to come. I think the rock-only nerds got to the album first (currently a 72) - ya'll know pop music can be good, right? Especially when it's this euphorically fucked up?" Reply

"I'm pretty optimistic that one day Charli XCX will surprise us with a very consistent release, quality wise. She's not there quite yet with Pop 2, having still a few throwaway songs amid some outstanding bangers but I can say with this and her Vroom Vroom Ep last year, that she's on the right tra..."

"I would imagine that if a member of Fleet Foxes decided to leave and make their own solo album, it would sound like this album. With a voice that sounds like Devendra Banhart and Lou Reed had a baby, Kurt Vile has created quite an interesting album. A great folk-rock album that has bits of multip..." [+] Reply
