"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 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

"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

"Right now Franz Ferdinand couldn't write a filler even if they wanted to and this album is all killer with each cut a potential single. Not straying from the winning formula they perfected in 2004 i.e.(Blondie + Talking Heads x 1979) the album is a timely reminder of how lucky we are to have them..." [+] Reply
