    Even more of a grower than their debut and more rewarding because of it. All across this album, you'll find influences from alt-rnb, no wave, dub, afrobeat and art rock mixed into their trademark sound. Liddiard's lyrics are more biting than ever. Aside from Paradise, the title track and closing track Maria 63 are absolutely amazing. 2nd aoty in a row?

    Excellent mess of fascinating orderliness and other stuff that’s silly. Tracks are ordered very well; album is an experience despite each track being a standout. Definitely an improvement over the debut from the MelBin foursome.

P.s just bc lover is out let's not forget that there we'recoming from a hardcore Taylor Swift stan and someone who can never choose one favorite song on the album I always have more than one and even on this one i have more than one fav. this album is probably the best one of hers and I literally say that about all of her albums sksks but I'm serious every song on this album is amazing.

    [“Soft Power” is] an engrossing, haunted fable, a way to link society’s obsession with conspiracy to our basic needs for security and comfort. It’s proof that Tropical Fuck Storm are still clever when they want to be, able to channel obsessive rage into real insight. Braindrops could’ve used more like it.

    With the group fermenting a heady stew of gnarled psych rock, the result is as droll as it is challenging. [Oct 2019, p.114]

    Braindrops is somehow both more personal and more detached than Liddiard has ever been. It’s personal in that there’s moments of unmitigated passion, manifesting as anger, vulnerability, and virulent snark; the shrapnel from broken relationships and haywire politics ricochets off the band.
