This is one of the albums of the year: completely out of left field and completely solid from start to finish.
-
I cant recommend this album strongly enough.
-
One of the most surprising, challenging, and important albums of the year.
-
Under The RadarWhile the production techniques are so ingenious as to occasionally outshine the melodic content of the songs themselves, these are first and foremost pop songs. [#8, p.115]
-
It will take at least ten listens before you hear everything thats going on, and ten more to understand it, yet this is far from impenetrable; it boasts a melody line that any pop princess would sell her plastic soul for, and prompts the idea that Knopf and his cohorts have been hanging around a crossroads doing just the same.
-
For a debut, it's a remarkabley inventive and interesting release.
-
One of the most original-sounding albums in a long while.
