Feb 19, 2020Ultimately, the whole album is a triumph of collaboration and should be seen as a celebration of the artistic vision of Rob Marshall. There’s not a misstep on a single track, and there’s a depth here that rewards repeated listens.

Feb 26, 2020Musically it's rich in scope with Marshall pulling in all of his influences from post-punk to breakbeat to indie and krautrock and fitting them together like parts of a puzzle. The result is an album that was definitely worth the wait.

Apr 13, 2020Yes, the vocal contributions of the various guests would normally be the thing that stole the headlines in a piece about an album like this but it is to the immense credit of Humanist that what stays with you after the last tortured notes have wrung out is just how much you’d give to hear these songs live and feel the force and emotion of his playing cut you right to the core. This will end up being one of 2020’s best albums, have no doubt about that.
