"I dunno, I kinda actually like this. She was playing guitar online and people were bashing her and I'm like you people are just being picky jerks. Fun quality enjoyable music if you ask me."  Reply

"One of my favorite jazz albums I've heard in the past few years. Every track is great, especially They Who Must Die, We Will Work (On Redefining Manhood), and 'Til The Freedom Comes Home. This is the perfect kind of album to listen to on a long drive."  Reply

"Fix My Face Aka Alt Rock with a Hefty Dose of Iggy In The Night The truth is it's AMAZING! Showcasing what a sympathetic producer (Andrew Watt) and a diehard, unapologetic lifer can achieve even at the end of his run. Fantastic production, sequencing and guest performances make it endlessly playa..."  [+]  Reply

"An overall enjoyable album with a deep and immersive atmosphere. The seamless transitions are satisfying, but the long runtime can sometimes make it feel like a large soup of synths and reverb, with The Weeknd’s smooth, heartfelt vocals as its core. Slightly glitchy electronica pops up in a coupl..."  [+]  Reply

"Let’s be honest, Jacky Boys 2018’s ‘Boarding House Reach’ was a lot of a disaster and the proceeding ‘Lazaretto’ wasn’t much better so can you imagine my surprise with this latest platter - its actually rather good ! ‘Entering Heaven Alive’ has this wonky off key charm to it with J.W finally park..."  [+]  Reply

"(Really unique, insanely creative, album by Iglooghost here. Has opened my eyes to some other new avenues of music listening going forward.

"“Your feedback for We Had Good Times Together, Don't Forget That” feels more confident in its storytelling. Previous works by Sewerslvt relied on directed samples and shorter songs to convey the trademark sadness. “Don't Forget That” generates the melancholy through long atmospheric passages.
