The entire first disc is incredible - the second not so strong but still contributes to a stellar album
Feels stale at times, but the final section of songs is worth the wait
Edit: 73 -> 85
The more I listen to this, the more I like it. I'd still say the final run of songs is the best part of the album, but the earlier tracks do hold their own. The biggest downfall to this album is it's length, as it does feel too long and therefore a bit repetitive at times, but on the whole this album has really grown on me.
A brilliant follow up to his already solid debut, 'Zeros' is enjoyable from beginning to end
Drops off a little towards the middle of the album, but opens and closes with some brilliant tracks
Pure brilliance
Edit: Fuck the critics, how this only has a 77 is beyond belief.
Comfortably in the discussion for one of the greatest albums of all time in my books
Ers too far on the side of melodrama and self pity for my liking, but the songs are mostly enjoyable
Too long for my liking, with the album becoming stale and somewhat boring as a result
Nice sound, with some memorable tracks but overall just 'another' album to enjoy as most are pretty forgettable
Can't comment on the lyricism, but the album provides a fun listening experience with a fair selection of memorable tunes. I do wish that all 4 songs from her earlier EP were included though.
I get why people dislike this album - it's nothing like the 'old' Bloc Party and is a completely new sound, however, I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be. People seem to hate 'The Love Within' but I found it grows on me a bit, it's not their best song but it's not that offensive. 'Only He Can Heal Me' is actually a terrific track, and the following tracks aren't too bad either. 'Different Drugs' and 'Into the Earth' are two songs I really enjoy myself, and ... read more
A decent enough album that is overshadowed by the live versions of songs released around the same time. If given the opportunity, seek those over the studio versions.
