Since "Markovian" already wrote everything there is to be written I'll just make this short. It's a great album, filled with stunning drumbeats, rhythms and so much more. When I first heard this album I thought: "Could this be true, is it so fu***** awesome?" If You think that there's no reason in spending money on this album, well think again. I say bull*** to all those who think that this album sucks. Listen it again and explore the harmonies surrounding this Masterpiece.… Expand

It's a cohesive album, emotional within, but the real point is Lykke's unique voice. It has nasal forms, vibratos, powerfull spelling, we can feel what she is saying, what she lived and it is the key to this CD. Her efforts to make something about herself were accomplished, and her voice is just comparable to Bjork's. Extraordinary.

I've adored Lykke Li since her "Little Bit" single hit the music scene, and i was looking forward to her sophomore effort with a 'little bit' of worry. i was scared that she won't deliver and thought that she'll be be gone with the wind. but i was wrong, fortunately. and i couldn't be more satisfied than that. Actually, it feels so great that an underdog artist has crafted such a good record. On this one she has shown growth, artistically and musically. "Youth Novels" was, well, youthful and had a dose of innocence , but "Wounded Rhymes" declared her as a grown ass women and as an artist in control. All the songs are well produced, but may have a little let down with 'Rich Kids Blues'. If you're an indie lover, or alternative pop addict, than this album is the right choice. Lykke Li is an artist i will be looking forward the most.… Expand

love the album. she is a very nice artist very great voice and very nice songs. Ver good song writer. Love the indie rock , dream pop, alt rock sound to the album. Best album of the year so far. Her voice is mazing. mMore people should listen to her. All the songs are really good.

Something about this album screamed "Overrated!" continuously in my ear; the sort of deafening average levels of hype suggested that nothing special was coming, unless you were the diehard Lykke Li fan.

This, of course, was before I started listening to the album.

It's one of those moments were you just couldn't be happier being wrong; it's a stunning album. Branching out in every direction possible from Youth Novels, leaving only the bare minimum influence behind. And in the best possible way. Best album for me so far this year.… Expand

Lykke Li is terrific. I was a bit scared about the possible sophomore album disapointment, but I was pleasantly surprised. Sure there are a few songs (Sadness Is A Blessing, Rich Kids Blues) that don't drive me off the wall, but there are amazing ones to compensate. Recommended tunes : Jerome, Love Out Of Lust, I Follow Rivers, Get Some
I'd give it 8.7 but a nine is fairer for Li. ps. Saw her live last week : MIND BLOWING! Make sure to catch her on tour if you can.
Much more enticing and memorable record than Youth Novels, where only a few tracks were praise-worthy (Little Bit, I'm Good I'm Gone).… Expand
