    We Don't Even Live Here is a solid, confident step forward for the Minneapolis rapper, taking his confrontational punk-rap style and injecting it with a dark, danceable energy that sacrifices none of his signature hardcore edge.
  2. We Don't Even Live Here is the weirdest, angriest, and best P.O.S album to date.

    Usually an artist can try and re-create the album that gave him so much acclaim, or he can scrap everything and create something new and fresh, with the risk of alienating his fan base. P.O.S chose to do the latter with We Don't Even Live Here, but unlike many artists, he pulled it off without a hitch.

    P.O.S. takes a page from labelmate Aesop Rock, but with less verbosity and more purpose, more swagger; the record starts slow, but good luck putting it down.

    His music finally a match to his unswerving anti-capitalist manifesto. [Jan 2013, p.93]

    It is a fine album. Pointed without being preachy, cerebral without being inaccessible and never anything less than thrilling.

    We Don't Even Live Here explores the dementia of our current moment with its charged, nihilistic lyrics and a sonic swell of electronic experimentalism. [Nov 2012, p.92]

    Maybe there's a touch more swagger than solutions on the set, but Minneapolis' secret weapon really should have saved the title of his previous set, Never Better, for this one.

    On We Don't Even Live Here he brings lyrical grit, tightly leashed rage and a general disregard for genre boundaries.
