There’s not a bad song here, as the production is killer from front to back. However, the performances leave a bit to be desired.

One of the most consistantly great house albums that I've listened to. A front to back masterpiece

I love the sound of the whole thing, and there’s not a single bad song. Definitely one of the best pop albums of the 2010s.

I don’t think St. Vincent is capable of making a bad record.
Favorite tracks: My Baby Wants A Baby, Down, Pay Your Way In Pain, Down And Out Downtown, The Melting Of The Sun, Live In The Dream

Incredible, with nearly no skips. It’s really just banger after banger, with fantastic production and performances with some amazing songwriting here and there too.

least favorite track: Telling Me This
I was super into this album for the first few tracks before most of the rest of the album where I lost interest. Fantastic for the first leg and solid enough during the second.
favorite tracks: I Am Who I Am, Beautiful People, I Didn’t Know That, A Cold Freezin’ Night, Thirty Incoming
least favorite track: Chain of Missing Links
Dreamy, beautiful, moving, and somewhat nostalgic. This somewhat falls off at the end, but this is the perfect album of take a little nap to. One of my favorite electronic albums ever.
favorite tracks: Love Cry, Circling, Sing, Angel Echoes, This Unfolds, Plastic People
least favorite track: She Just Likes to Fight
I loved a lot of ideas here that had potential, but the execution left a lot to be desired. Tracks like STFU and ROBBERY could’ve been fantastic but mostly fell flat for me. The production here was also pretty great throughout the album, but the rapping and ideas over the production is what holds back this album for me.
favorite tracks: STOLE YA FLOW, HELICOPTER, STAY HERE 4 LIFE

This album has instantly put this band on my radar, and I’m excited to see what they do next.
Favorite tracks: Micah, Flea, Serenity, The Reply, Bodhidharma, My Garden
Least favorite track: Dan’s Love Song
Banger after banger, with almost no skips. This is one of the most underappreciated albums of the year, and it deserves much more attention.
Favorite tracks: Everyone I Love is Depressed, The Iron Wall, A City Drowning. God’s Black Tears, Sometimes, Papi Chulo, Baggy, Soft Pack Shorty,
Least favorite track: Live At the Chinese Buffet
This album doesn’t reach the highest highs for the band in my opinion, but this album is still super fun from start to finish without a bad song to be heard.

Oneohtrix released an essential ambient album here. One that’s cozy, comforting, but a bit unsettling.
