Dec 13, 2020In my view, the most amazing and beautifully crafted Goldfrapp’s album. It sounds like a haunting movie soundtrack, with Alison’s voice at her best. Highlights are Stranger, Drew, Ulla and Annabel, notwithstanding it’s a superb album in its entirety.

Dec 28, 2014Musically and lyrically soulful where every track is beautifully crafted Stranger being my personal favourite.
Tales of Us is absolutely spot on which made it my most played album in 2014. -

Jun 16, 2014Not the strongest Goldfrapp album, but still wonderfully composed and created. Though each song on the album is themed around a different person they suffer from not having enough character or individuality.

breathtaking from the first time, evolving and maturing from spin to spin.
this album is, ladies and gentlemen, as fine as music can get. -

Sep 30, 2013Although some of the arrangements and electronic embellishments are lavish, there are few obvious peaks and troughs apart from the epic throb of ‘Thea’.

MagnetSep 19, 2013Musically, it's their most ambitious release, with full orchestras and mysterious meditations of reality and fantasy. [No. 102, p.56]
