Best 10 songs average is 92,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. I like this sound and the album is rich in variety. Notable are the well-fitting electronic instruments and samples here and there. Best songs are the first three: "Everyday I love...", "I predict a riot" and "Modern way" all 95/100. Closely followed by "You can have it all", "Oh my god", "Born to be a dancer" and "Caroline, yes" all 90/100. There is no smash hit, but very good songs from beginning to the end, wow!!"  [+]  Reply

"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God."  Reply

"If you ignore the generic bubblegum pop lyrics this album is amazingly catchy and has outstanding production quality."  Reply

Best 10 songs average is 77,7/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Sound is very good - but vocals take MUCH getting used to. What a strong start of "Black shuck", I turned the radio loud and then --- this annoying falsetto. Don't know if I'm adapting to this sometime right. The songs with less of this wailing are quite good. So best songs are "I believe in a thing called love" and "Love is only a feeling" both 85/100, followed by "Friday night" 80/100. All other songs average or below."  [+]  Reply

I don't really know what happened, can't recall any thoughts. I woke up later, but was still trapped in this thing. I couldn't get out, and it hit me that the idea of a Nick Drake album seemed danceable at that moment. I could feel my skin turning pale and my muscles weaken. My mom even saw me and asked if I was okay - she said I looked sick and seemed bummed out. After hours, I managed to switch to reggae album Heart of The Congos, and it was like stepping out of a tunnel and being overwhelmed with light This may not sound pleasant, but few albums have affected me like that. Most music just exists - it's pleasant and all, but not really worth preserving considering how akin it is to tons of other music. Some music goes beyond just sounding good, it can affect your mood and situation - make you happy, wondering, fascinated, cry, dance, sleep, vomit or whatever (affective doesn't mean a spiritual realisation or anything like that, just that it doesn't leave you indifferent). I guess it's stuff like that we are on sites like this to look for. And this album gave me one of my most interesting music experiences ever. Affective music - and I think I'm building a healthier relationship to this album"  [+]  Reply

Instead of everything being about money, hos and violence, he wraps about struggling, moving forwards, and love. He gives a respectful vibe. His lyrics are intelligent and focused on growth. It also doesn't hurt that his flow is smooth, his voice is distinctive and clear, and his backing beats and loops give this album a soulful feel. His best."  [+]  Reply

Entire songs sound like one long catchy chorus with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, like the title track headed by the sultry neko case belting out lines like "Now this romantic duel is into the streets, / bon appetit, you've eaten me alive... " Many songs sound like they have layers-upon-layers of separate-but-equal catchy choruses, like "the slow descent into alcoholism" following repeated catchy verse of "my, my, my, my slow descent into alcoholism / It went something like this song (x3)" with "Salvation holdout central(x3)" (with neko backing) packing it with more fire later (making alcoholism sound like a BLAST). i like dan bejar's dark sass and opening line of "jackie" ("Jackie you yourself said it best when you said: There's been a break in the continuum") and near-closing line ("What's a version of the world without the will to despise it"). But it's the upbeat numbers dat drop da bomb. "letter from an occupant" (another with layered choruses) has a lot of energy, delivered by neko, with some upbeat drums & synths with rhythm, singing "You told me I could order the moon, babe / Just as long as as I shoot what I want." and really letting go throughout ending with some low-key mangled guitar. (AC & Bejar are good'n'all, but my new p*rn highlight's always neko.) i love the ending harmonies of "to wild homes" (& its multiple choruses). More multiple choruses in "the centre for holy wars" eventually trading a chorus of "Exactly where we are, at the center for holy wars, / I hope it never comes down again." with a repeated "Hope grows greener than grass stains.". (This fun just HAS to be heard instead of read to be believed.) The only misstep is "execution day" which lacks replete catchiness of the other songs and has a "stop/start" tempo contrary to the smooth near-constant energy of the rest of mass romantic. Fine debut."  [+]  Reply
