This is a great record and I won't hear otherwise. Not one dull moment to be found, with vocals and styles changing from track to track. There is creative overload to the point that some tracks feel a little too cooked, but at 38 minutes this album ends up being wholly satisfying.

Obviously 'Debaser' and 'Hey' are high points here, and falling at opposite ends of the album helps balance this wild thing out. Really enjoyed 'Here Comes Your Man' and 'Gouge Away' too.

What a fitting name for a band that showed up, dropped some heat, and just vanished. You can tell from their music how they felt, and here I am 50+ years later, felting it too. Anyways, this is a cornerstone in psychedelic rock for me; the band is buttery smooth, the vocals are heavenly. Me, like many others, stumbled upon this album one day and are thankful for it, so go show this to someone dammit!

This was my introduction to St. Vincent, so while I'm not sure how this fits into the context of her other music, I thought this was great! The production is super crisp and loud, and isn't afraid to dip into other genres once in awhile. By the end the whole thing feels very cinematic and polished, even if some of the later tracks feel a bit unfocused. Either way, it is clear that St. Vincent is operating at a higher level than many others in this space.

These guys are for sure in my mind. The first four tracks on this are basically one long song that you can pick and choose your favorite parts of, while the back half of the record features some great track diversity despite still feeling cohesively psychedelic. 'Am I in Heaven?' echoes the energy of the intro tracks while also cranking it up to eleven. 'Her and I (Slow Jam 2)' remains one of KGLW's best songs and is a beautiful closer to this wild ride.
