    An extremely promising debut.

    Thrilling and original. It's a dense but shifting mist of sound: snatches of vocals, meandering electric piano and guitar figures, synthesisers that move from enveloping warmth to jangling out of tune, topped off with Bennett's sweetly understated voice... [Yet] for all its flashes of brilliance, it sounds more like a free download.

    The Internet still feels like an important first step, not only for its willingness to test the limits of current hip hop/R&B, but as proof that Odd Future is more than just a one-man show. [Mar 2012, p.108]
  4. The most disappointing aspect about Syd Tha Kid's delivery is her inability to create a remotely compelling protagonist - something Odd Future members have proved themselves more than capable of doing.

  1. I kinda enjoyed this album. Most of the songs are listenable and it's a nice start for The Internet. There are points where Syd's voice was off and on the track Visions, Coco (who was featured) was out singing Syd by a lot. It's a nice start and hopefully they can improve from here. Expand
  2. Sid tha Kid and Matt Martians come out of the Odd Future work with this new innovative ideas, but the problem comes from the first listen because the production is too confusing and not very convincing. But not all garbage, "Cocaine" and "Fastlane" are good tracks to remember. Perhaps the result is not the best but can improve. Expand
  3. The Internet put out a decent debut some songs were listening to but others weren't. Syd's singing is ok she has some goods songs like Cocaine, Fastlane & she knows Expand
