One of the most unique, creative, and interesting metal albums in quite some time
So many people willing to throw a good album under the bus, only because it doesn't sound like their older stuff. I mean correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't TMV always been about experimenting and trying new sounds and styles. At any rate, No it's not the usual TMV sound, but its still a good album with some great ideas behind it.
What a pleasant album
Favorite tracks: Nervous Tension, Homage To Patagonia
I don't know what to say except Star Bangled Banger might be the worst song ever written.
This is a nice one. Rather generic for Interpol but them playing it safe really served the album better I think. Probably one of their best projects in a while and I will most likely be revisiting.

Actually really disappointed by this. Very similar to their last album. All of the songs being so short and similar means they all eventually blend together and its just not what I wanted or expected from them this time around.
Really solid album with some great tracks, however the album feels a bit long and the track quality takes a steep decline in the second half.
Thoroughly enjoying this. One of their most consistent albums and not sure I understand the low ratings here. I got exactly what I expected and wanted from one of their albums.
Favorite Tracks: Wild Fantasy, Cannibal Capital, Happy Me
Its just really weird, its got some merits but not really either of these bands best work
This was a 1000th rating! and what an album. I put this off for too long. The weird sound are definitely there on Pt. 2 but its not a detriment in my opinion, it works fine and doesn't take away form the experience
Wow, this was my introduction to Big Thief, wasn't expecting this at all and pleasantly surprised at what's on offer here. For such a long album there is so much variety and the music never feels like a drag.
Serviceable as a Post-Punk record, but it just hits all the genre tropes you'd expect with nothing new really on the table
An excellent and very welcome return to form for Animal Collective. If you haven't been a fan of their recent albums but still love stuff like MPP or Strawberry Jam don't pass this one up
Favorite tracks: Prester John, Cherokee
The only thing stopping this from being a perfect score is just time getting to know the album. I'm extremely hesitant all the time to give a brand new album a 100 right off the bat. But if there was any album that I can already say I'm gonna come back and re-rate to be perfect its this one.
I can't believe what was accomplished here, its just simply an amazing album with track after track being memorable and different.
I wish Isaac the best, but I hope he knows what an absolute classic ... read more

On GoldenChords's review of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Murder of the Universe
""he robot who wants to be a human or to feel human emotions is a little uninspired and cliche, but at the same time it adds a cinematic atmosphere, like a low-key sci-fi book. I enjoyed the most of the songs, except 'Vomit Coffin' (and all the vomit stuff)"
Great review, but this part bothered me, because if you listen to the words or read along the entire last part is about Han-Tyumi and his mission not to become human and feel emotions. But to Vomit and Die. "
On Gorillaz - Humanz
"But when the sound is regressive like this than i'd say its more worth the low scores.
I mean if you're going to tell me the instrumentation and sound on this album is more evolved than Plastic Beach, id say you were crazy. "
