    Example's obvious delight in sensory experience shines through in his intricate play of syllables and the warmth of his singing voice. His best yet.

    Such dark lyrical tropes have served him well in the past, and even the blokey-but-sensitive shtick of his lovably clunky, WTF rhymes are part of a well-honed musical formula. But credit where it's due--he provides something for everyone.

    Good pop needs light and shade to grow up, it seems, and so does Example. [Jan 2013, p100]

    The fact that he duplicates his melodic inflections from previous albums in detail shows just how formulaic his music has become.

  1. Brilliant. If you were a fan of his last two albums, you may be disappointed by the sudden jump and change of tone but the contrast of Metal-ish guitar and techno is amazing to listen to, check it out in all it's catchy glory! Expand
  2. An album which is much different from his previous album but still example manages to pull it off and makes his songs catchy and still extremely enjoyable to listen to. Expand
