"Really solid follow up to Light Up Gold, though it shouldnt be compared to its predecessor. Both are completely different albums with individual strengths. Sunbathing Animal's strength lies within its jamming-instrumentation and witty songwriting. Sunbathing Animal and Instant Dissassembly are in..." [+] Reply

"PHENOMENAL. Great album, builds more upon his Debut record rather than 2013's "Overgrown", and that was certainly the best move. My favorite release of this year thus far, hands down! As of May 7th." Reply

"How do you critique in album that lives so far outside of expectations? One that shows clear reckless abandon for what the listener might want at any given moment? No Now effortlessly blends those all too familiar 90s boy band hooks into glitchy, dense, abysmally dark electronic music. The human ..." [+] Reply
"A solid contender for Pop AOTY. The production is definitely the highlight, but the singer's voice is good too. So versatile and malleable with every song. This is very interesting stuff, im excited to see what more this band/collective comes up with. That baby sneeze bit in Nobody Cares gets me ..." [+] Reply

"Amazing voice. I don't really think this album has any business having any songs over 10 minutes, much less two, as I think the brevity of songs that are typical in this style are what make them work so well. Great nonetheless." Reply

"I enjoyed listening to it but despite all compliments like consistency, bravery of shifting music style or mellow songs, the conclusive point is that there isn't any big deal about the album." Reply

"Really this works so much better than it should. Sounding like a monster hybrid of Chvrches, Beach House, Dillon, Melody's Echo Chamber and latter-day Bjork, this should be a sappy, ungainly mess, but for such a young band they show a remarkable grasp of all the seemingly incongrunt material and ..."

"I find it difficult to make an objective judgement on this album as Dear Science is one of my favourite albums and this album suffers in comparison as it is very similar. The songs are still very good but it feels like shaking hands with Bobby Kennedy whilst secrertly wishing it was JFK. There is..." [+] Reply

"I wasn’t sure how the Red Hot Chili Peppers would sound without John Frusciante. I was sad that he left because he’s a great guitarist and I think he brought something very special to the band. When I heard he left I was disappointed and skeptical of their new album. However thankfully, they prov..." [+] Reply
