    Diploid probably has some ace songs, but you'll need an industrial belt sander to uncover them. [No. 109, p.55]

    Dalle's first record under her own name recalibrates bravely.

    Dalle’s return performance, no matter how energetic and strong musically, lacks the lyrical details to latch onto.

    It’s an admirable attempt at maturity, but Diploid Love drains the energy from Dalle's music, along with its heart.

    Dalle sounds as if she’s on autopilot for much of Diploid Love; she’s obviously got talent to spare, but she’ll need to provide herself with a sterner challenge than she has here if she’s to truly capitalise on it.

    Diploid Love doesn’t suck, but neither is it revolutionary.

    My favorite tracks are "Meet The Foetus/Oh The Joy", "Carry On", and "Underworld".
