blobbyJul 13, 2010Theres great work in here. it just sounds like someone pissed all over it when it was only half finished. i imagine its MIAs way of putting herself in an unpopular position so she can climb up from that. theres 4 or 5 tracks that could have been the bones for a classic but she decided to throw everything in, ugly and often depressing as it may be.

CosineJul 13, 2010An album just as noisy as its strange name '// / Y /'.

Awards & Rankings

Striding through metal, dancehall, space pop and dubstep, our multicultural mascot has littered ///Y/ with politicized sonic motifs: from marching drums, gunshots and modems to heavy machinery and blaring sirens. It's loud, proud, and taking no prisoners.
-
M.I.A. stands alone in her own world of pop firing out her mercurial messages, which are as complex as they are captivating. ‘// / Y /’ is a towering work that makes a mockery of rivals and genres.
-
Aside from "Lovealot," she proudly proclaims her intentions as a first-world pop star, de-emphasizing found collage and "third-world democracy" for melodic sway and punky bluster.
