    as everything Purity Ring do, WOMB is incredibly good, their uniqueness amazes me. the only miss is asido has been left out of it. femia, rubyinsides and almanc would be really good single/videos. they never disappoint me and was not this time. try it patiently and you will feel the comfort of the womb

    It’s a perfect blend between past and future purity ring . Lush and bright and full of hope during these circumstances . The lyrical content transports you

    O álbum tem mais qualidades como podemos escutar, pensei que seria mais do mesmo, mas foi um presente ao meu ouvido me ajudando a relaxar e ouvir o que é música de verdade.

    De Edmonton, MeganJames y CorinRoddick son un dúo de DreamPop y SynthPop que estrenan "WOMB". Este álbum refuerza el género que dominan como productores y aunque parece tener un balance correcto de intensidad y sensibilidad, no todos sus tracks logran salir del cliché del Pop. Hay una mezcla y dinamica correcta entre la hermosa voz de Megan y la música que se presenta, pero    ( 77/100 )

Hay una mezcla y dinamica correcta entre la hermosa voz de Megan y la música que se presenta, pero la mayoría de los ritmos se notan ser reciclados de formulas Pop muy frecuentes. "WOMB" no es nada nuevo, de repente es atractivo, pero se invisibiliza ante proyectos más creativos.

    From Edmonton, Megan James and Corin Roddick are a Dream and Synth Pop that presents "WOMB". This album strengthens the genre that the duo dominates as producers and, even if it seems to have a correct balance between intensity and sensibility, not all of their tracks achieve to get out of Pop cliche. There is a correct mix and dynamic between the beautiful voice of Megan and the music presented, but most of the rhythms seem to be recycled from very frequent Pop formulas. "WOMB" is nothing new, maybe sometimes attractive, but is invisible upon more creative projects.    … Expand

    Although WOMB never stops sounding good, the bops came easier in 2012. The best thing you can say about WOMB is that it's an effortful return to form, an album where most tracks slowly but surely prove their worth.

    Womb contains a world that is by nature red in tooth and claw, and Purity Ring have found a way to marvel at every single aspect of the experience.

    There is no doubting the power Roddick and James are wielding on ‘Womb’. The talent of Purity Ring as songwriters, instrumentalists and visionaries is clear to see – it will be interesting to see where the band can take their sound in years to come.
