"It's one of those albums that's great when you have a hangover, or maybe on a road trip, but isn't necessarily artistically cutting edge. Nevertheless, Barnett still stars as a lyricist on an album that otherwise bears Vile's stamp in terms of music." Reply

"Dark and disturbing at times. Very serene at others. Somewhat challenging listen, but worthwhile. Sort of GY!BE-esque." Reply
"This is my album of the year so far. It's very eclectic but held together through some subtle sonic touches. It's warm yet challenging. My rating may increase with time, but for now it is a solid 8/10. Highly recommend." Reply

"Really cool album. It's a step in the direction of "Hope" as a opposed to "Cope," which while I prefer the variety of sounds, emotions and dynamics captured in Mean Everything To Nothing and Simple Math, it's still a very interesting album and I also think that following in the quieter direction ..."

"Just a correction on the comments that this is "just a bunch of demos and not a real album". This isn't true. The man himself wanted to release it as an album soon after it was recorded but it was his label that considered it to sound like demos and wouldnt do it.. They wanted them fleshed out. T..."

"What an oddyssey. This album may have lots of filler, but it really is an unforgettable ride about monsters, epic fights and existencialist robots. Not quite as good as "Flying Microtonal Banana", but worth listening to just for the fun of it. Highlights: "Altered Beast I", "Lord of Lightning", "..." [+] Reply

"Absolute fire album. Consistent quality throughout, the Travis Scott influenced beats and quirky flow from Quavo and Takeoff works brilliantly. The lyrics are not necessarily philosophically deep but this is an album you can just pop on at a party on in the car and just groove to." Reply

"Everybody is back! Loved hearing everybody contributing on this album, Feist, Amy and Emily. Ariel Engle did great live filling in, and on her own songs. Saw them a few days after Gord Downie died and Kevin Drew soldiered on but with a couple of rough patches and a walk off stage, but came back s..." [+] Reply
