Mar 1, 2019I absolutely love this album! It has great acoustic riffs in it, it has a gorgeous vocal line and it just blew me away!

Mar 4, 2019As someone who loved his debut album, this album exceeded and surpassed the debut record in my opinion! This album really does show how bold and confident and experimental he's gotten, without taking away the "hozier" feel and lyrical depth. Loved the use of the organ and choir sounds.. a really beautiful and emotional album.

Mar 5, 2019Why this album only has a 65 score is beyond me. This album is phenomenon. Hozier did what he had to do, and he showed the other girls what they shoulda did

Mar 1, 2019Hozier, well known for deep, soulful music, brings it back with Wasteland, Baby! Most loving and lovely songs produced in this decade. Critics are cowards for not recognizing the soft and sweet beauty of being consumed by the earth with your darling.

Mar 2, 2019After the great EP Nina Cried Power I was kinda expecting more from this new album, it was okay.
-
May 13, 2019Not a single track outperforms Shrike before well, Shrike, which has already appeared in the previous EP released last year. The album is at its best when it comes to the stripped-back, guitar-driven songs, and worst with the awkward soulful choirs packed with some really tiring overproduction.

May 27, 2019Great album that taps emotion and creates atmosphere. Give it some time to draw you in - the best music is not always accessible on the first listen.
-
Aug 19, 2023I thought that the debut album would be impossible to superseede but I was wrong because Wasteland, baby! is just as mesmerizingly beautiful, if maybe slightly more gentle and sensual. It adds to a flawless discography of trascending music and breathtaking vocals.

Mar 6, 2019At 14 tracks in roughly an hour, Wasteland, Baby! falls prey to the humdrum, all its power wrung dry.
-
Mar 5, 2019Even though Hozier doesn’t bring anything immensely innovative to the album, Wasteland, Baby! is still a delightful experience that radiates with feeling.
-
Mar 4, 2019It’s a lovely sound, but the songwriting veers more towards the serviceable than the inspired.
