"Having never heard any of his music, I quite enjoyed this. It's a throwback to 90s/early 2000s music to my ears. The production is pretty loud, so there's not a whole lot of dynamics in the songs, but it's fun stuff. The second half is better, and the best songs are TV Stars, and 9/10. A nice alb..."  [+]  Reply

"The reigning garage rock king does it again. Certainly his most polished effort, but that doesn't mean it has become urbane. Just as frenetic and down right dirty as ever. I could listen to his fat fuzz all day."  Reply

"Lately, The Flaming Lips have entered a very experimental stage of their career. They’ve always been fairly experimental and odd in their music, but lately they’ve been going in a very different direction from some of their earlier albums like “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and “The Soft Bulle..."  [+]  Reply

"This is not a lyrical, deep, socially conscious, especially meaningful album but it isn't trying to be. It is just really well made with some amazing detailed production and just sounds really fucking good."  Reply

"One of the best indie releases of 2017. Fantastic voice, fantastic flow to the album, good lyrics and a rather interesting sound. Not just peak girlpower, but a great album through and through."  Reply

"One of the most gorgeous, most organic, and most underrated releases of 2013. Justin Vernon has gone on to create something that separates itself from Bon Iver, and stands up to the quality of Vernon's best work. Solid stuff right here."  Reply

"What a great way to kick off a career. I am glad to see them release an EP long enough to get on this site because a lot more people can be exposed to their music."  Reply

"Another first-rate album from Fuck Buttons, not quite as briliantly booby-trapped as Tarot Sport, but they still know how to create one incendiary experience. More like the soundtrack to particulary intense raver rather than to the dropping of an atomic bomb"  Reply
