"Another great album from UMO. They're really great at mining totally fresh sounds by deconstructing various genres and pinching elements from all over the place. Hunnybee might be my favourite song of the year so far." Reply

"This album is the result of a grueling amount of crap that Matthew Houck (aka Phosphorescent) had to go through following the release of “Here’s To Taking It Easy". According to him, he lost his girlfriend, was worn down by the road, and lost his place in New York. It had worn him down to almost ..." [+] Reply

"Absolutely fantastic! I have nothing in my collection like this so far! This is the music I am looking for and I'm sure it will only get better on further listens. From We Want War I knew I was onto something special and it holds up as a very good album all the way throughout. Well deserved the p..." [+] Reply

"Here's another former "lo-fi" artist who has since embellished his work masterfully in the studio. i like the horns, especially the spazzy-jazzy horns at the end of "2011 best track" long-play nominee "your fake name is good enough for me", or the playful horns in "big burned hand"." Reply

"First half is pretty corny IMO. I get that Joey didn't want his message to get lost in translation but I feel like I'm getting beat over the head. Lyrically the second half is a lot better but the production is lacking compared to the first half. I wish Joey mixed his modern sound with his 90s so..." [+] Reply

"I found it pretty enjoyable and compared to Recovery, Encore and Relapse (that last album is just a shame) it's pretty good. Rap God, Love Game, Headlights, Bad Guy are definitely my stand out tracks. And So Much Better is hilarious, no disrespect to the ladies. And if you compare it to a rapper ..." [+] Reply

"The concept and aesthetic of this album could of easily collapsed into a self-ingulgent pretension mess, but thankfully this is not the case. A truly terrifying and brutally sincere performance." Reply

"This is one of my favorite bands of the 2010's and this album is one of their best. It's a concept album and it's very long but that doesn't do it any bad because there is always something interesting to discover here. At a first listen you would mistake this for a hardcore album but in fact it's..." [+] Reply

"Not nearly as bad as some people are saying. Obviously, different people have different tastes but the production on this album is A+. The lyrics might not be the best but I wouldn't say its so bad that it ruins the entire album. The album is called JESUS IS KING, obviously Kanye is going to be p..." [+] Reply
