There's some really great songs on this, uh, album. There's also some pretty mediocre ones, so why the songs on Whack World all had to be exactly one minute in length is completely beyond me. All in all not entirely sure whether the extremely short runtime is a good or a bad thing...

An impressive feat production-wise and an attribute to West's peak in creativity, but hardly an album of significant impact. Unlike on Ye and Daytona, there's nothing here that truly grabs your attention and, unlike Ye and Daytona, this album doesn't actually feel complete with its 7 tracks and 23-minute runtime. It ends and as soon as it does, it seems as if all has already faded.

A voice as enchanting as Bonet's is hard to find and on Childqueen, she uses it to the fullest extent.

Everybody seems to be referring to this as Rolling Blackouts C.F.'s debut, but for a debut it's rather disappointing. Hope Downs lies miles away from the enticing spirit of the preceding EPs, so let's just not call it their debut, OK?
