A lot of this album is supposed to create atmosphere. Instruments: forget interesting chord progressions and melodies, let's create atmosphere. Quadeca's voice: no, let's not create interesting melodies or tell a story, make the voice the atmosphere too. While quadeca admittingly, creates some insanely good atmospheres on this album, for the most part, that's all it really has. And while quadeca's production is impressive, it's too quadeca. There's no actual ... read more
Never listened to deftones before this. What a pleasant surprise. The production is some of the best I've ever heard in metal. The textures of the guitar and the little pyschedelic synths you occasionally hear in the background are just Masterclasses of manipulating production choices ever so slightly to give off a certain feeling. The instrumentation, and especially the drumming, is absolutely phenomenal. The intimate story he tells throughout (hence the album title private music) is ... read more
This is really more like a 6.5 but the overall user score of this album needs to be much higher so I'm doing my due diligence.

I don't care if you hate Justin, give credit where credit is due. It's a decent album. Super vibey, great guitar ... read more
I'm convinced most of y'all rating this horribly are rockers who've never heard of electronic music, cuz this album is really good. It certainly isn't perfect. The songs are slow and drawn out and every now and then it takes me out of it, but it works for the most part. The lyrics are great. I love the mix of organic guitar with electronic synths, evening I feel the guitar riffs are very similar to each other at times. Personal Prometheus is a masterpiece. The fact ... read more
This is a solid art pop/rap/house/dance album. It's got some crazy unique production on the front half, but the middle half lacks. It feels as if FKA Twigs doesn't know how to sit in sadness on production and still make it interesting so she has to speed it up everytime. It makes those slow songs cluttered and confusing. I thought that the North West feature was kinda bad. While the album does end with three very good songs starting with striptease which has gotta be my favorite on ... read more
