    Not a bad album, I liked a couple of tracks, but I would call them tasteful, not for everyone, but the material is good

    El álbum es grandioso en cuanto a sonido, ya que PVRIS sabe como evolucionar en ese aspecto y no decepciona.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is AMAZING. The blend between rock and electropop really fits the lyrical content really well. This album shows another side of PVRIS we never thought we would need.… Expand

    I have been following PVRIS since the days they were named PARIS. This is probably my favorite release by them so far. A fresh, softer, more pop-oriented sound that is still as dark and atmospheric as it has always been, albeit more mature. The lyrics are much more polished than before and the vocals truly shine through. Congratulations to the band for the great work.

    This album is reminiscent of the 90s trip hop with more energy. This album was an impulse buy. But I am glad I made it.

    It is a wonderful album, which lyrically explores the personal challenges of front-woman Lynn Gunn. It is possible to see a storyline that advances according to the songs and that makes us question our own lives, for example in "Dead Weight" and "Good To Be Alive".

    This is what I call "a perfect album". There are no fillers, only emotional bangers.

    PVRIS is a group which deserves much more attention than they are given. 'Use Me' is reflective and represents a shift in PVRIS's music, away from their emo roots and towards a more diverse and experimental sound.

    Gunn’s perfectly snarling vocals amplified in intensity by the punchy production, it is a electric opener which sounds unmistakably PVRIS, just with a fresh energy.

    Her third album leaves no stone unturned, turning darkness into sheer catharsis. Sounds like something we all could use.

    There isn't a wasted moment on the album, an expertly crafted triumph that succeeds by balancing addictive production and a concentrated thematic focus. Beyond the technical, Use Me is also an inspiration, a cathartic rebirth for Gunn where she can take full credit for doing all the work, embracing the pain and cleaning her wounds with strength and confidence.
