"Beautiful. I can't believe music critics have listened to the same record. Shame on them. No, I pity them. You've got to be quite a sad person to hate this. Their sudden liking for his official ADZ release was even more shamelessly ridiculous." Reply

"Yeah, they still sound like Pavement but they also remind me of The Modern Lovers and they're really good at copying Lou Reed's ostrich guitar by way of 'The Black Angel's Death Song'. Saying all that, Human Performance is the type of indie album you thought they'd forgotten to make with tunes ap..." [+] Reply

"One of the best albums of the decade. It soars in the typical style of Suede, and it's great to be hearing them in top form even after all these years." Reply
"This album makes me want to take off my shirt, put on some douchebag sunglasses and punch a wall." Reply

"An interesting contrast to The Hold Steady's "Heaven is Whenever" which is also heavily influenced by early Bruce Springsteen. Very enjoyable and one of the better albums of 2010 but I don't think they are in the same league as the E Street Band when they were in their prime. Maybe if they had a ..." [+] Reply

"The ratings site Metacritic gives this record a high rating of 93, making it the 22nd highest rating on the whole website, as of 2021, outranking Beyonce's "Lemonade," Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid..." and White Stripes' "Elephant." Two years before the heartland rock revival record "Lost in the Dre..." [+] Reply
"This is a masterpiece. An instant classic. An overwhelmingly beautiful and tragic work of art." Reply
"This album is fantastic. Yes, it may be very lo-fi, but the compositions and arrangements are superb. It's neo-progressive/experimental rock at its a absolute best. I can't say enough about this record." Reply
