"Impressive vocals and unconventional sounds. This is a different kind of pop that I wish more people attempt. There is meaning in every song. My favorite songs are ones where FKA Twigs shows off her voice like in "home with you" and "fallen alien". The Future feature does not fit at all and is th..." Reply

"I have literally never heard anything like this before and I love it. The closest comparison would be Trout Mask Replica with how unconventional and out of control it is. I heard sounds on this album that I'd never heard before in my life. I need more material from these guys asap" Reply

"Goddamn... This album is a revelation. This is a gorgeous, intricate, emotionally-charged experience. The only drawback is that such a dense record can be a little exhausting, but Fleet Foxes have not lost it. Each record of theirs gets better and better. Welcome back, FF." Reply

"There are basically 2 sides of this record: the "she's a 17 year old industry plant whose audience are fake edgy 12 year olds" and "she's the best new thing in modern pop". I can honestly see both sides of this argument manifesting on this record, but the most important thing is that this sounds ..." Reply

"I'm really liking this album. Really, really liking it. It's classy, it's provocative, it's original, it's terribly sexy, and the production is impeccable. Maybe the lyrics are not brilliant, maybe there are a couple of songs that feel a little underwhelming, but it's still a very competent and o..." Reply

"The opening track Stonemilker is absolutely a blast, which I deemed the best song ever written by Bjork upon my first listen, and it continues standing the test of many more listens afterwards.

"The greatest album if the decade in my opinion (based off only what I have heard which isn't such a ridiculously huge amount). One of the greatest albums I've ever listened to. I have been obsessing over this record for 2 years and have listened to it probably well over 100 times. I can't get ove..." Reply
