"it's more pop to me than rap, but is that a bad thing? isn't being the world's biggest pop star what kanyes been trying to do for all these years? I can't say it's perfect, but I think it's as good as you can get while remaining a pop artist in today's music industry. kanye isn't exactly the best..." [+] Reply

"The fat of the album should have been trimmed to 12 tracks or 10 and then it'd be right under Funeral." Reply

"Best National album hands down, sounds perfect from the beginning to the end, no bad tracks in here. Melancholic, dense and deep to the right point, without being excessively sad." Reply

"For some reason I have become like obsessed with this album. I can't stop listening to it. It's like at first you feel nothing, it sounds empty the first few listens. And then you get to your third listen you a suddenly start to feel chills down your spine. Then by your seventh listen the album j..." [+] Reply

"An astonishing record. Though it struggles to emerge from the shadow of James' more celebrated efforts, this may quietly be his best. Of the 9 tracks here, 7 have the potential to hit you just as hard as All My Friends did, and they can do it with just as much mastery of dance music as anything o..." [+] Reply

"The front half is incredible. About as strong as the best parts of Demon Days or Gorillaz, but it kind of drops off after track eight. Not a bad album, but that edge is sort of lost. This is still a really great album, but something is missing, unfortunately." Reply

"Art rock done extremely well. Two notable things to this album; 1) It has very engaging atmospherics ranging from distantly dreamy to psychedelically fuzzy with it's layers of guitar coming to the fore in certain songs. 2) It is a complete album of exceptional songs without a filler or mediocre m..."

"Might be the best (quality) album of the year. After two spins though I don't want to listen to it or her anymore. It's like going to a fine steakhouse. The 10, 12 and even 16 ounce steaks are great. The 48 ounce steak is too much and if you eat it all you'll get sick!!!" Reply

"There is a lot to enjoy in this album. The guitars lay on riff after riff, the bass and drums are solid and the songwriting is also good, creating an album full of well constructed songs. The problem is that it is all a bit unspectactular and unoriginal. This could easily be an album from the six..." [+] Reply

"The Kid A of the 2010s, arguably kicked off the trend (Reflektor, Bon Iver, Sleep Well Beast) of 2000s indie acts becoming more experimental and electronic" Reply
