Mar 4, 2021One of the best two albums by the most creative band of the century so far.
Experimental and playful as well as meaningful and challenging at times... A delight to listen to. -

Dec 18, 2012With this one, David has slowed down the prog elements and made them more digestible for the impatient and unintelligent. What you hear when you listen is an ultra advanced musician dumbing down music to the level he feels comfortable doing so, and it is great.

Jul 19, 2012It took a few listens but this album really grew on me, and now I love it. I wasn't a huge fan of Bitte Orca, but i will probably go back and give it another listen after learning to really appreciate what they did on this album.

Jul 11, 2012More approachable than Bitte Orca, but just as carefully crafted. This album's pleasantness does not detract from its artistry, and its artistry does not impede its pleasantness. Hardcore Dirty Projectors fans may need a couple extra spins to appreciate the changes in Longstreth's songwriting, but this is a truly excellent album.

Sep 13, 2012Dirty Projectors has never done so much with so little, a rare feat reiterated by the disarming, insistent standout, "Gun Has No Trigger."

Aug 8, 2012Sometimes brilliant, often infuriating, it's a must-check nonetheless.

Jul 27, 2012They have it in them to write great pop music or truly important experimental music, but Dirty Projectors have to decide where they want to end up before they start.
