    Quite likely the best album I've heard this year. So glad to have found Daniel Romano though I'm surprised it wasn't sooner as he's from Ontario like me. I haven't been able to stop listening to this, I crave it when I wake and before I go to sleep. Just about a perfect album, every song is great, with 'Drugged Vinegar' being perhaps my favourite. If you're a music lover, do yourself aQuite likely the best album I've heard this year. So glad to have found Daniel Romano though I'm surprised it wasn't sooner as he's from Ontario like me. I haven't been able to stop listening to this, I crave it when I wake and before I go to sleep. Just about a perfect album, every song is great, with 'Drugged Vinegar' being perhaps my favourite. If you're a music lover, do yourself a favour and check this out. This will be a must-see live show if we ever get back to that. In the meantime, see for yourself with his great 2020 live album 'Ok Wow'. Thanks Daniel, and please keep the new music coming (which if you know him, he will).… Expand

    How Ill Thy World Is Ordered would feel like a grift in lesser hands, but there's no chicanery to be found here, only solid, smart songwriting with a little bit of rock & roll peacocking tossed in for good measure.

    There’s no predicting what genre he’ll take on next or how far his frightening productivity can go, and by delivering albums this spirited and melodically rich, with no signs of watering himself down when he’s already 10 releases deep in one year, Romano earns the trust to follow him anywhere.

    It's a record that begs for repeat listens. [Oct 2020, p.36]
