"From the critics to friends everyone I can think of seems to really like this album. The only thing going against it seems to be the lack of attention from people. Trust me in saying this is one of the years best albums."  Reply

"I don't know, I feel rather displeased by this new GYBE album. The four pieces of this short outfit have been around for a while in their live material, and I'm pretty sure this feels a lot more powerful on stage than in studio, but it's like if they weren't trying to experiment on this one.

"I liked this album a lot more than I initially anticipated. A couple of the songs on this were really, really good. I especially liked the songs Rattle that Lock and In Any Tongue."  Reply

"Nothing particularly special here, but if you're looking to groove to some old school soul, this is a go to album. Imo some of the tracks felt a little empty, but overall it was decent. 7/10 Fav Tracks: Brown Skin Girl, Shine, Twistin' & Groovin', River"  Reply

"Really chill album. Nice drumming and flute. Reminiscent of Foxygen but with a more blues & early rock influence. Very different stylistically to 'I'm In Your Mind Fuzz' and 'Nonagon Infinity'. Track Picks: 'The Bitter Boogie', 'Sense' , 'Most of What I Like'"  Reply

"CRIMINALLY UNDER-RATED. This album is in my contestants for best or the year for sure, its just so much fun! The hooks are addicting, absolutely addicting. And its self deprecating vibe really gives this album an "i dont give a crap" attitude that makes me just melt inside. We need more Jeff Rose..."  [+]  Reply

"I love it! It's certainly not anything radically different from his last records but it's still catchy as hell. I might even go so far as to call it his most consistent release yet. "Just To Put Me Down" is perfect summery crooning to drink yourself to sleep to. B+"  Reply

"All together the album was pretty average. None of the songs could be called amazing, but also none of them would be considered shit. All together the sound was pretty consistent, which probably made the songs blend together a bit too much with nothing making them unique. This made a lot of the s..."  [+]  Reply
