I love this warm-melodic-dramatic-Arcade Fire approach, and this is a fantastic band. Great musicians and all. But my God, I gotta say WHAT A TERRIBLE SINGER!! DEAR GOD!! You have a fantastic band by your back doing all these modulations and hooks and harmonies and everything and all these douche can do is this Ian Curtis impersonation with some non-sensical lyrics. For Christ's sake. Please get a singer and you'll be the best band in the world.

it's good I guess, I don't know, it didn't captivate me like her first record, but it's still pretty catchy and fun. Good arrangements, well-constructed melodies, funny lyrics. She's been delivering quality power pop ever since 2018 and I hope she continues.

yeah, that was pretty solid. They're probably the most accessible band out of the Brixton scene, but still interesting and singular in their own way. I felt like I just listen to a collection of post-punk jams, and that's about all I could ask for.

They're such a unique band. I think they're really mastering their sound, this is probably their most mature effort 'to this day. It feels like every member of the band is more confident and secure with their own artistic contribution to the band sound. I just really wish to see them live, they're this type of band (and I'm glad that still exist bands like that!).

This is not really the type of rock music that I'm into, but I'm having a great time with these songs. It just sounds so good. So layered, melodic, bold. Great vocals and guitar lines all over this album, and the compositions stand by themselves. Probably one of the rock albums of the year.

yeah, I was wrong about this one too. It took a while, but I'm really digging this sound. This is the studio music that we need in 2021: it takes advantage of the production resources available today - the effects, the sequences, the midis - while still being grounded in the musical outlook and experience of actual musicians playing real instruments. The result is a powerful sound that is exciting to sit and listen to, but that sound even better live with people sharing that musical experience. ... read more

Jesus, this is sooooooooooo generic. I mean, she sings well, yes, and the sound is well-produced and the musicians make their part...but the compositions are just so lackluster, harmless, plain boring. It's like, this is all surface. No substance, no power, no point at all. Not a single line, a fucking harmony, nothing. Everything it's just ble. Which is funny, I'm trying to remember artists that make this kind of soft indie music, but with ACTUALLY something going for them. The first album of ... read more

I remember listening to FLOSS some years ago and really enjoying, cause you know, some straight-up bangers on that album. Here they're on totally another approach, and I think it's good to see rappers making emotional, self-expressing rap music. You know, all the great genres and types of music are capable of creating those hymns, those songs that somehow speak and express some really singular and universal human experience. And recently I've been feeling that rap it's too much on its own lane, ... read more

I salute him for being such an honest and forward-thinking artist, but this is way beyong any real cohesive musical experience. It's just a bunch of beats - some of them pretty good, I might say - and a bunch of rappers bad rapping all over the place. I mean, seriously, when did rap become this? Nevermind. There's not much Kanye really RAPPING or, you know, doing his thing musically. SO many guests, so many songs, it's just SO focused on trending the next big thing on rap, on the music market, ... read more

yeah that was really good actually. I remember listening to their last record, it was heavier, but this one it's good too. Sometimes a bit confusing with all the effects and collaborations, but their vibrant sound makes it all worthwhile in the end.

A "therapeutic" album without any criticism of her own self, without any real confrontation (or presentation) of the dark parts of herself.

I don't wanna be harsh on her or anything, this is definitely a fantastically produced album, cheers for Inflo. And Little Simz can definitely rap, she flows through these hooks, rhythms and harmonies with great confidence and musicality. She can be sentimental, thoughtful, aggressive, always saying what she wanna say, and always in an ... read more

"do people really like this stuff or it's just "yeah this sounds cool so it must be good?" Seriously I fell asleep listening to this, it sounds like just musicianship showing up. It goes nowhere, it tells you nothing, and it's not even appealing. Seriously, I don't care if this is "experimental" or any of these labels that people put to sound fancy anything that is unconventional, even when the music has no substance at all, like this one. It's 2021 and prog still ... read more

Hm, I don't Know. I feel like, somehow, they're a better band now than they were when they came out 6 years ago. Yet, I still feel like they haven't done anything as good as My Love Is Cool. I mean, they have become a much more polished band, with a bold electronic sound and strong personal lyrics. I just feel like they lost their edge. They were a rock band, with alternative rock hooks and contemporary digital arrangements. Now, I don't know...they sound like a huge indie pop band, with ... read more

One thing I would like people to realize is how much we live in a different musical landscape than the 20th century. A rupture occurred, and today music is produced in a different way, with other tools, another experience, other references. This helps us not to indulge in bogus comparisons, or even unfounded criticism or rash judgments, and to better understand what is going on. This record reminded me of all that because it is a great example of well-made music in this panorama we live in ... read more

It's good, but this is more a Paul Westerberg album than a Replacements album. Still, great songs from the beginning to the end.

My favorite. It's close with Let it Be, but I don't know, this is even better for me.

the best rock band of the 80s, period. This is a masterpiece. So well written, so emotional, raw, and strong. I really love this album, there's nothing negative about it, that's it for me.

hell yeah this is good. Raw and fun, this feels like a well-recorded jam of punk rock songs. Their creative golden age was just around the corner.

Their purest punk album. So young and fresh, we already could see that this was a band with an intense personality in every aspect.

This is probably their last great album, but still, unbelievable how they manage to stay on a creative peak for almost 10 years.
