    St. Vincent's most sonically rich effort to date.

    Musically, in other words, Strange Mercy delivers plenty of interest. What's not so convincing is the songwriting, specifically the lyrics. [Oct 2011, p.60]

    It's cerebral and a little chilly, but also full of musical surprises. [23 Sep 2011, p.79]
