Oct 2, 2016Probably the best album (thus far) of 2016. Banks proves why she is a force to be reckoned with and then some. Each song is poignant, beautiful and powerful and thematically perfect. "The Altar" just became one of my top albums ever. Download: Gemini Feed, F With Myself, Judas, Weaker Girl.

Oct 5, 2016This album is sooo cool! I wasn't really interested on her when I listened Goddess but this album is a masterpiece. Her voice and the production of the album are sticky. My fav songs are Mind Games, Trainwrecker and Weaker Girl. Keep up the good work!!

Oct 1, 2016She surely deserves to be called an artist. The harmony that surrounds this record is just incredible. Everything is planned. The cover shows the real Banks without make-up and so on. I love that concept and I'm going to listen to it until I die.

Oct 21, 2016One of the best records of the year. What BANKS does with this record it's show the different shapes of pain. In my opinion, her lyrics are the best with this effort. Her experience with depression and heartbreaking are expressed in dark/ dance melodies with great power to make it over. The catchy songs "Gemini Feed", **** With Myself" and the amazing written "Mind Games" gave me life.

Oct 15, 2016Banks's finnest work to date, it's dark, beautiful and so breathtaking. A masterpiece. It starts with a bold Gemini Feed and finishing with a rad 27 hours, it's definitely one of the best albums of 2016. She takes it all.

Sep 30, 2016The album sounds much more expansive than its predecessor, in addition BANKS explores in tracks like "Trainwreck" and "Poltergeist". This album is vibrant, is dark and is an incredible work by a fiery woman.

Mar 12, 2017Jullian Banks continua sua jornada, se reinventando a cada álbum. The Altar mostrou uma nova face da cantora, não necessariamente mais madura, mas melhor explorada. Visualmente e musicalmente, essa era está impecável.

Feb 26, 2018Não acredito que nunca ouvi esse álbum antes, é simplesmente maravilhoso. Minha favorita é F*** With Myself mas todas as músicas são ótimas, a Banks merece mais reconhecimento.

Jan 2, 2018estou feliz em dizer que não perdi meu tempo em ouvi o álbum inteiro da Banks, ela anda segura na zona vocal em que percorre, dando vitalidade aos trechos que exige vocal mais forte, apaixonado por esse álbum, visualmente tão incrível quanto sonoramente. aguardando trabalhos futuros.

Nov 3, 20226 years later and this album still holds up super well! It’s a staple album for BANKS for sure, songs on here was even ripped off by Zedd (without the credit). If you’re going to listen to a BANKS album, it’s going to be this one
-
Nov 10, 2019As close to perfection as it can be. Banks is definitely one of the most underappreciated artists of all time, this album has been on repeat ever since it came out

Oct 12, 2016The Altar is more textured and artful than ‘Goddess’, BANKS growing into her role as a writer, upholding the sensual melancholia that characterised her debut. Yet, it still feels as if BANKS is fine-tuning her sound.
-
Oct 12, 2016The Altar has a lot in common with Goddess, including its fatal flaw: its attempts to position Banks as edgy or dangerous, despite all musical evidence to the contrary.
-
Oct 5, 2016The high points of The Altar are nearly perfect, but these are outnumbered by a massive middle section comprised of unremarkable, uninspired filler.
