"Ok let's address the Elephant in the room .. and of course I'm referring to Track 6 "Rollin With The Flow" . Holy cow it's an awful cover of an equally awful track and who ever ticked it off for inclusion on this album should slap themselves in the face . Hand's down contender for worst 2018 trac..."

"To quote someone on Reddit, "The Van Morrison of the Twitter age". And to quote Pitchfork, "Everything feels silvery and romantic, like a hallucination of the classic-rock songbook". Honestly I'm adoring this album, it's already in my top 5 for the year so far. I just can't stop listening to "Bel..." [+] Reply

"I really don’t know what happened to Paul, he used to write such great, clever lyrics. Here some of his songs are very basic lyrically, with lines that use words that a 10 year old would use like: sad, mad, good, and happy. Despite repeated warnings tries very hard to emulate band on the run, and..." [+] Reply
"It's monolithic. A massive, unique sound (punk quartet plus orchestra) that mostly lives up to the ambition of the songs. It feels conceptual too, like a Grand Statement. I love some songs more than others but the good ones are seriously good. Pain Killer is in my Top 10 songs of the year so far." Reply

"Most of us can agree that this album is not bad by any means. I really agree with the guy that stated that the album's cover art suggested a shameless "we don't give a shit what you think, we'll do what we want" attitude, which is something I always root for regarding all music. The singles sugge..." [+] Reply

"A beauty. I can't wait until the film is released in February to hear this sweeping score in context!" Reply
"Check out the LongChain concept behind this album. The premise revolves around a sunken slave ship that crashes and the slaves live free lives underwater, hence slaves=waves. The production on a lot of songs has a crazy aquatic vibe and Lupe bounces off the beats effortlessly incorporating some o..." [+] Reply
"If you love this, and why wouldn’t you, listen to the reworking of these songs on her album hunted. Different but equally brilliant" Reply

"Again, another example of Drake overstuffing a record with too much filler. Yeah there is stuff I like on here, but then there is an equal amount of grating moments that are boring and show a lack of creativity. This is three in a row of mediocre Drake albums. I don't think he has another great a..." [+] Reply
