"I love this album, and I can see why people just consider it average junk. It's nothing groundbreaking, and most can get what it gives from so many other records.

It's nothing groundbreaking, and most can get what it gives from so many other records. But I can't, the feeling I get from this album is almost inexplicable. The first few listens were just pleasing, but now I get so much from this, so much comes back into my mind. Wetsuit and Family Friend remind me of that summer a couple of years back when I actually started to shape as a person and started to feel so many emotions I'd never felt. Norgaard and If You Wanna remind me of the naive fun I'd have in 2011. All In White and A Lack of Understanding remind me of my first actual breakup at the age of 13. Wreckin' Bar and Under Your Thumb remind me of that girl I used to have a massive crush on that I'd go insane if she spoke to me. All these just add up, and when I listen to it, I realise that this was all just less than 3 years ago, but I still get a MASSIVE rush of bittersweet feelings. My childhood has basically gone, I'm no longer that innocent boy I used to be, cooped up in his room playing shitty PS3 games (though I'm still cooped up in my room most of the time). I no longer have the incentive to climb the treehouse in my back garden as a form of escapism, I no longer want to play on the tyre swing, and I no longer care about that trampoline I still have. I don't have the two cute rodents I had, I don't read the same books, and I don't even nearly think the same way. What I'm trying to say is this makes me realise that in the space of about 32 months, I've expanded so much, and it makes me realise, wow, time is too precious to worry about this shit, and I eventually stop worrying about it and try to become a better person."  [+]  Reply

I love the sound and the passion in it. Sturgill Simpson writes a beautiful letter to his newborn son. It is a brilliant welcome to the world with messages to people of all ages about the world we live in and the best ways to fully experience life. I love the Nirvana cover, it is a fantastic reimagination of a classic song. The sailing themes and sounds tie the album together so it sounds very cohesive. The album flows perfectly. It transitions from slower tempos to fast-paced tracks seamlessly many times, without being jarring or awkward at any times."  [+]  Reply

Queens has always been one of my top go-to bands for feeling badass, and this album doesn't disappoint. The entire thing has an aura of "coolness" about it.

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 length) lacked any impact? What about some of the greatest 20 minute EPs... did they lack impact? "Ye" is short, sharp and strange. The comparisons to 808s are reasonable but really this is a thing of its own, from the production to Kanye's outlook (which seemed defeated on 808s but introspective here). Perhaps it is one of his weakest albums, but a weak Kanye album is still bloody strong. Plus, I imagine this'll go up in everyone's estimations a few years later as 808s, Yeezus and TLOP have. Give it some time to let it all sink in, because there's a lot going on in these 24 minutes."  [+]  Reply

It serves as a great conclusion to the trilogy, particularly in the last two songs. This record is sadder and more contemplative than the other two, seemingly settling the tension and anger found in the previous two records (respectively) with a sense of acceptance and giving up (until the finale). In a sense of lyricism and even emotional resolution, it serves as a great conclusion, however, based off the colors and intensity there is a case to be made that it should have been between the Seer and To Be Kind."  [+]  Reply

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 sound with every album. Its just less exciting and doesn't really invoke many emotions in me. I hope the fans don't abandon her and stick around for the next release."  [+]  Reply

It has its lo-fi sound to it in places, it has some great guitar-work like you would expect out of straight rock music, and it has the reverb and spacey vocals you’d expect from dream pop. It’s a strange combination that actually works quite well. It’s not often in indie rock that you come across someone like Ruban Nielson, someone who is a very good guitar player, but also an insane partier. Like, it’s amazing that he’s alive right now, and this is only their second album. But it works, and it works very well. You get some inventive melodies and some great rhythm to work with and you get a very solid album."  [+]  Reply
