"I must say I was a little disappointed when I finally got round to listening to 'Imaginal Disk' but I think that's probably mostly on me getting so overhyped about my current favourite artist's latest record. I also think the singles they released were so goddamn good that the rest of the tracks ..." Reply

"As this site's #1 and possibly only Charli XCX superfan, I will say: this album showcases the best of Charli XCX's interpretation of the hyperpop genre and should be recognized along with the rest of her solid body of work as some of the best experimental artpop of this era. The lyrics range from..." Reply

"The first album from the Crawley band in 16 years is well worth the wait, the atmospheres generated are very reminiscent of Disintegration and Robert Smith's vocal performance is strong. One I'd definitely recommend if you're a fan of the group" Reply

"For me, this is a much more cohesive record than the debut, which while I really enjoyed a lot of tracks from it, it did feel at times like a bunch of ideas that were initially developed during Radiohead sessions as well as some parts from Thom Yorke's solo projects. There are some tracks on this..." Reply

"My first impressions were not positive, they improved upon a second listen. This album feels inconsequential for Kendrick, which isn't necessarily bad - it proves he's human. I get the sense that this album is part of the continued victory lap in his win over Drake, but it feels a bit like a hang..." Reply

"As usual my old foagie ass only hears about albums that are apparently So Big Hype right now when there's usually some crass controversy surrounding it, and lo and behold that's where I first heard about this album and well curiosity of course still kills the elderly cat. Again I don't really car..." Reply

"This album is absolutely incredible. The different styles incorporated in it are done so well and I'd say this is better than anything Geordie did with Black Midi. A truly unique experience and a record I can see future acts citing as a strong influence. Absolute must listen, especially if you're..." Reply

""Tigers Blood" comes in awkward. The instrumentation can be very flat. The instruments will enter and stay in the same meandering form through the entire song. A noted exception being the quality of the banjo whenever it appears. The writing can also be self consuming. The feelings of self-confus..." Reply
