    Provavelmente o pior álbum da M.I.A., ela é talentosa e faz ótimas canções, mas esse CD tá ruim e sem foco, ficou um monte de galinha nos instrumentais e ela falando em cima.

    A great dance record with some thoughts in it. I feel like this is definitely not the strongest M.I.A's album at all. I didn't understand the main purpose of the album. But I did enjoy listening to it.

    If this is her last record then she hasn’t gone out on her finest note, but that’s certainly not to undermine the album. Maya Arulpragasam’s body of work remains an important reminder of the exciting prospects of cultural exchange and the immigrant experience. Taken in that light, AIM is a fitting addition to her oeuvre.

    As ever, there is risk run by too many tracks and fatigue sets in while listening to AIM. The idea of taking any one of M.I.A.'s albums and trimming its excess to 12 of the most colorfully resonant offerings is tantalizing to imagine. The same goes for this one.

    AIM isn’t nearly as ambitious. It’s just busywork, M.I.A. watching the clock, scanning the news, occupied, but idle.
