"A fun dance album. A lot of the tunes sound very similar, so it does get a bit tired after a while. But enjoyable if you're into latin club music. Bad Bunny seems to be a very big rising name in the genre."  Reply

"A really beautiful album beginning to end. A powerful return for The Chicks, and Jack Antonoff did a great job producing it. Especially love March March and Young Man."  Reply

"I adored Chat Pile's first few EPs at the end of the last decade, but their widely-acclaimed 2022 debut God's Country was a little stale for me, as they lost their early urgency with some unadventurous instrumental work. Not so here; the band's songwriting is brilliantly intoxicating, as nightmar..."  [+]  Reply

It's more mature than the 2023 EP 'Knocknarea' but doesn't quite reach that level, other than on the powerful 'The Invisible Man'. 1.Maruja (CW - UK - A..."  [+]  Reply
