"Not as shitty as some say, but not as good as the sales and the Grammy would say either. Average work by an unoriginal band. Listen to Fleet Foxes instead."  Reply

"I really enjoy this album. They were finally able to mix that psychedelic 60's low-fi with some pop flavor to make it accessible. I'm calling that this album will be huge later on . . ."  Reply

I mean, These New Puritans use just about every instrument you can imagine, this album is almost like a minimalistic symphony of sorts. TNP keep kind of reinventing themselves over each album. This is their third, their first album since 2010’s “Hidden". It’s definitely interesting, the composition and everything. There are moments where the album gets a bit slow, but there are also some moments that are just beautiful. The organ in “Organ Eternal", for example, is beautifully done. It’s a pretty good album, it’ll definitely keep you intrigued for the most part."  [+]  Reply

It's not perfect ('He Always Felt Like Dancing' is a little irritating, and the relentless click-track percussion of that song is sort of jarring when set against the rest of the album, but the way the melody slowly unfolds and reveals itself at the same languid, measured pace as the story is still damn impressive), and at 70-odd minutes it is a bit of a chore, but damn if it isn't shockingly consistent throughout, musically and especially lyrically. I've never really been the biggest fan of the indietronica/folktronica/whatever thing, but here the sparse bleeps and twinkling keys and dry percussion really work as the perfect foil for Kozelek's amazing storytelling. Opener 'What Happened to My Brother' is as affecting on a base emotional level as any Red House Painters song, '1936' got some shit from Pitchfork for being rather light but I think it's incredible how much depth he manages to imbue in such a simple ditty, 'You Missed My Heart' is a stunning change of pace and a real show of what Kozelek is capable even when not spinning some slowly unfurling yarn but rather concentrating on writing a more (relatively) conventional pop song, in fact pretty much every song here is just really tastefully done and completely beautiful. And I'll be damned if 'Gustavo' isn't one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I know he's been accused of being somewhat self-indulgent lyrically, and there is a lot of first-person elaboration, but he's such a wise, honest voice at this stage that I actually feel blessed to have had the chance to hear these words. Just go and listen to this album."  [+]  Reply

This album invokes so much feeling and emotion, and if I feel like listening to it I have to listen to it completely through every time. Songs like "Cutting My Fingers Off" and "I Would Hate You if I Could" cut deep and are absolutely gut wrenching and resonating. In comparison to "Magnolia", their first release, you can hear their transition from alternative rock to the shoegaze genre and I think they have truly found their place. Songs like, "New Scream" seem as they're coming straight out of 90's MTV video. Anyone suffering from heartbreak or knows the feeling will definitely appreciate songs like, "Diazepam" or "Like Slow Disappearing". They hit at the soul for me every time. I can't think of a bad song on this album. I recommend this album to everyone and will continue to for a long time. If you haven't listened to it, I would suggest you really try it out if you are a fan of the genre."  [+]  Reply

Hval is so self-revealing she makes everyone else look like a coward. Kingsize summons the most horrible feelings of dread (NOT THE BANANAS), Take Care Of Yourself aches with the weight of a million vaginas, and on Heaven after she says "I want to sing religiously", does she literally turn into a bird and start flying into the night sky? Good grief, what a beautiful voice. It's a raw confronting experience somewhere in the vicinity of an ego death, attacking parts of my psyche that were laying dormant. There's so much gravity here that it demands complete attention and doesn't work any other way. She's one of those rare artists that seems to have the ability to connect a transmitter directly from her brain into yours. Her lyrics are like those weird fuzzy early morning thoughts you have as you're waking up, where it feels like you're solving some really important internal puzzle and everything is equal and nothing is taboo and your conscious identity hasn't fully uploaded yet so the real fundamental essence of what you are has a chance to- damn, it's gone. It's not so much that her music is otherworldly and escapist, it's more like she draws your attention to the strange ambiguous elements of what it means to be a human being in waking life. The kind of thing your brain likes to shift its awareness away from whenever it can in favour of the mundane. Apocalypse, Girl is a temporary escape into reality."  [+]  Reply
