"Quite the mixed bag on this album and not all of it good. The singles “Walking at a Downtown Pace”, “Black Widow Spider” and “Homo Sapien” as well as closer “Pulcinella” stand out as excellent album highlights, whilst the remaining 7 tracks are a little underwhelming even though I give the band c..."

"I was sceptical when I first went into this album as I wasn't sure if the group could capture the same magic they had on their record they released this year but I was very quickly proven wrong. As soon as the vocal kicked in on Polaris all my doubts went away as I got once again completely lost ..." [+] Reply
"So many songs connect in a way that's unexpected for an artist that though aware of I hadn't fallen head over heels for before. My grandpa is the greatest role model of man in my life. He used to live on the streets, trough construction work he managed to make a life for himself. He never learned..." [+] Reply
"Glad I got to this one. I've missed proper post rock/slowcore. Scratches the itch of an Idaho or Early Day Miners while also just surprising me at every turn. A fantastic reinvention from Racing Mount Pleasant." Reply

"Loved the singles and their music videos! They put out some of my favorite singles of any artist so far this year so I just knew I'd love the album too. Well ok I was hoping I'd love the whole album and it didn't disappoint. Bane is a great opener and Chicago is a super cool and unexpected song. ..." [+] Reply

"81/100 Liturgy raises the tone with a very ambitious project, while continuing to distinguish itself from its peers by a surprising singularity Key songs : 93696 / Djennaration Other rating : - H.A.Q.Q. (2019) 83" Reply
"For what it is I really don’t know how it could possibly be better." Reply
"This is a fantastic noise-pop album. I know it's not grounbraking, but music doesn't have to be groundbraking all the time. The melodies are beautiful, the somewhat heavy instrumentation and the smooth classical keyboards are awesome. Simply awesome musicianship in this debut. Too soon, I know, b..." [+] Reply
"For me this is comfortably album of the decade so far . Rich, varied and complex compositions with production and mixing par excellence. Kamasi and his cohorts have made sublime stuff here and it's possibly the finest jazz release of the century." Reply
