We could've skipped this part, I could've thought you how to love yourself I waited patiently, I hoped that you will be the one to come to me I try... See the rest of the song lyrics

    There’s more than enough contained within to confirm Butler’s genius at resurrecting the early spirit of house music. This will be the soundtrack to many a party over the summer months.

    Each song’s darker instrumental aesthetics balance the fun with an undercurrent of rumination.

    It’s a formula to be sure, but Feast’s main delights are its textures and songwriting.

    Butler has sculpted a complete, resolute collection of high-grade dance music.

    As a daytime collection of songs this album has its faults, but as long as it's consumed after hours, preferably in a club, it excels with a persona charged with swirls of unbound desire and dance friendly dazzle.

    Butler's troupe have always been unique--a dance floor-friendly manifestation of the dissenting, politicised queer underground--but now they're making transcendent music again, too.

    Overall, Butler's pedestrian appropriation of the clunky beats, tinny handclaps and squelchy vocoder effects of yesteryear sound stale and repetitive. [Jun 2014, p.78]
