Apr 15, 2014Unfortunately, the rhythm of the album is constantly interrupted by cacophonous dirges which makes it feel unsettled.
-
Feb 3, 2014Actress’s music always seemed like meticulously detailed sketches that came to life and immersed the listener, but while Ghettoville comes off as an interesting sketchbook of ideas, it rarely transcends that to become something greater.
-
Jan 30, 2014It’s a masterpiece of uneasy listening but would be a lot more digestible had it been trimmed to a manageable length.

Jan 27, 2014Busier tracks like Birdcage or Gaze--an actual incidence of dance music--confirm how nimble Actress can be when he takes off those lead boots.

Jan 28, 2014Considering potential downsides, the record stands decently by itself, but in no way akin to the power of the intermediate standalone albums; thus, Hazyville becomes necessary for a fuller appreciation of this release.

Jan 29, 2014Ghettoville doesn't sound like the work of a producer who's no longer able to make wondrous music; there's enough craft and intention here to suggest that, for whatever reason, he just didn't this time.
