Jul 18, 201632 Levels begins and ends strongly but sags in the middle like an old sofa.
-
Jul 15, 2016The result is an adventurous but inconsistent affair that suggests Clams Casino has plenty of ideas — and perhaps his masterpiece--still in him.

Jul 14, 2016More a showcase of his production wares than an album, this collection still suggests Clams might produce a pearl yet.

Jul 15, 2016Apart from when Future Islands' Sam Herring comes out from behind a tree with an old wizard's rumble on "Ghost In a Kiss," most of the remaining lyrical contributions to 32 Levels, even from Vince Staples and A$AP Rocky, range from decent to deleterious.
