The genre-mashing doesn't always work, but when it does it makes for great listening

A little understated for my tastes but still a very enjoyable record

Really really fun album, just a bit too short to justify messing around with the mixes and audio effects so frequently. Essentially a fluffed up EP, but a really really good one

Tourniquet is the only weak link in a near-perfect album

The ending still flags a little bit but the quality is so high it barely registers as a blemish on subsequent listens

Given the strength of post punk at the moment, this is a weaker addition to the genre's resurgence

Extremely uninspired and dull, and the musicianship isn't much to write home about either

Some really incredible stuff here but the vocal delivery at times was weak, and the direction lacking, keeping this album from being truly excellent

Doesn't flow as well as I thought on first listen, but the music here is undeniably brilliant

It's not perfect, but it's a fresh departure for Kevin and he handles it admirably for the most part. Definitely lots of promise and optimism to be had for future endeavors

Some really fun production and sounds on display in this half of the album

Suffers from it's length, lacking in consistency at points

Sadly it looks like Poppy has completely lost the vision of what made her unique and interesting

There's some really good stuff on here but most of it is highly disappointing

From upper echelon classic Neil Young, to something completely revolutionary over the course of 40 minutes

Starts out extremely weak but goes from strength to strength as the album progresses, faltering again only at the very end

Another phenomenal record, just lacking some of the variety of Frailty. Still stands as one of the best of the year to date

The fact that Revolution 9 was a song made by the Beatles in 1968 blows my mind. There is some generic Beatles deadweight at the beginning of Disc 2, but the closers give such a perfect tonal balance to the album that it elevates all that came before

3/5 killer songs, 1 pretty good, and 1 extremely forgettable. You guess which

You can admire the ambition in some of these songs, but it doesn't quite come off. The album is at it's best when Chai sticks to the formula of previous records
