"All of the critics who will call this album musical genius are probably correct. I just found myself working too hard to convince myself that I was enjoying the music when I really was not." Reply

"What Bruno Mars lacks in a coherent track list and lack of theme, he makes up for with spirited vocal preformances with catchy hooks. Overall, the music is good, but does not feel right put together. Looking past that though, the singles off this record are some of 2010s best." Reply

"I was surprised about the brevity of this third album. Generally I like succinct albums that are compact, consistent, and, as short as they are, justify their scope and form. Everything from "Pink Moon" to "You're Nothing" and "Is This It?" have benefited from their short 37- min runtimes, while ..." [+] Reply

"I had to take a shower to get off all the ironically happy vibes. The lyrics are sub-par, the music is annoying, and the cover gives me a headache. Probably the worst album I went out of my way to listen to from 2010." Reply

"Jason Pierce brings some better songs this time around but the spacey delivery still comes off a bit languid. That's not the case on "Hey Jane", "headin' for the top now" and "I am what i am" (i love backing vox and guitar wankery); but otherwise, i hope you can feel the words he sings because th..."

"I hope this record doesn't get forgotten over time, at the very least it deserves a lot more recognition than it already has in my opinion. Right from the very start the enormous ambition of this album becomes obvious, "Can't You See" is a huuuuge soundscape with a desperately pretty song being c..." [+] Reply

"Cringy lyrics, awkward production choices and pseudo "omg so experimental" qualities. It's only experimental in the realm of pop, and merging popular sounds together isn't hard or unique; it's been done plenty of times before, and better. (see: Gorillaz) Going wild in a small sandbox isn't really..." [+] Reply

"Half of this album is really good! If he cut it down to 10 songs, it would have packed a real punch and been a really great album." Reply
