Sep 6, 2015Visions is an album lyrically dedicated to love, but these very simple concepts are complicated and overlapped by Grimes' dreamy vocals and somewhat simplistic and stripped electronics, it's in many ways a very visionary album from an artist with a unique stance in music.

Sep 13, 2015When I listened to 'Genesis' last year I was like, 'what is this? this is weird' but after I listened to it more times, I started to love it! Then I listened to the full Visions and it happened the same, haha. I love Vowels = space and time, Visiting Statue, Be a Body..

May 5, 2012Claire's ethereal dream pop music style is setted up in this record, and maximized. Not much alike her last two, this is a pavement to a success, and the songs seems to be attached. 'Genesis' and 'Oblivion' sounds like featured stories. 'Circumambient', 'Symphonia IX (My Wait Is U)' and 'Visiting Statue' are the best recordings in this album. It is the year's best until now.

Sep 11, 2016A perfectionist work of dream pop, Claire Boucher may not be the greatest singer, but she's clearly a phenomenal producer, despite the songs not being very eloquently, it is an amazing atmosphere created for the oneiric Visions.

Apr 24, 2018There is nothing on planet earth that sounds like this, not even other Grimes albums. I mean that in the best way possible, by the way

Mar 10, 2012Wasnt sure of the album until i listened to it for about the 5th time....then it really hits you. Its soft listening but with addictive beats which drag you in. Second best to John Talabots Fin so far this 2012.

Jun 20, 2017I adore this, I mean, for me is the best album of 2012. Electronic and Dark wave are one of my favorite genres also Claire is my favorite artist, she never lets me down, so beautiful, she always does a good work, love her

Sep 8, 2012Quirky and zany, this album is filled with catchy synthesizers and vocals reminiscent of an airy blend of k-pop. An ambitious project similar to the sounds of Beach House, Visions is a must-listen for 2012.

Dec 17, 2012wow, only 2 weeks ago i discover her,,, and Visions becomes one of my favorites, Amazing album - dreamy electro pop sounds, a little bit of rock.. but l love the most her voice...
-
May 10, 2013With a sweet and strong voice, Grimes explores things I never saw in another album. Her subtlety with the beats is hard to explain, but is wonderful to hear.
-
Feb 8, 2014Solid pop album. It has a very "love it or hate it" sound, though. My favorite songs are Genesis, Oblivion, Eight and Vowels = Space and Time. Comfortable and relaxing to hear.
-
Feb 29, 2020This album ages really well, it is maybe even better now than it was in the past, it shows versatility but still keeps focus, it is a Spacey dreamy mess of an album in the best way ever.

Sep 17, 2014Ok. I am officially in love with Grimes. I just think that sometimes her voice is kind of annoying, but nothing that spoils the beauty of this wonderful album.

Jun 11, 2015Amazing. I liked every song; however, the 1 minute tracks (besides Know The Way) are all skippable.
Best Tracks: "Genesis" "Oblivion" "Vowels = Space and Time" "Skin" "Know The Way"
Worst Tracks: "Eight" "Visiting Statue" -
Feb 21, 2012PURE synthetic bliss... Grimes has delivered what could be one of the best albums of 2012, why? It is beautifully mixed and you feel like you are in the sky while you are listening to her music. It is an easy listen making you want to listen it more and more, compulsively. I do not have any words to describe this album, just listen to it and you will know what I mean.

Feb 13, 2022Everything sounds fresh here! The album flows mesmerizing while we listen to etherical dancing sounds. In my opinion, this is the best work released by Grimes so far.

Jan 31, 2016Grimes is a genius. A DIY mastermind who is simply like no other. Listen to Visions to experience her sheer brilliance and give your auditory system an epic treat.

MojoMar 23, 2012It take a rare confidence and skill to throw a million (roughly) ideas into an album and make it sound not just coherent but as good as this one. [Apr 2012, p.91]
