    This is possibly the most polarizing album i've ever listened to. Absolutely great at some parts, but totally fails in others. I also can't help but feel this is a bit of a Shaking the Habitual ripoff.

    This sounds like the kind of message that pop music has come to embrace. But rather than deliver that message in an instantly metabolized treacle-pop ballad or an arena-ready club anthem, Rostron's music demands that you confront what abandoning deeply-entrenched ways of thinking about gender and desire would actually feel like—it doesn't sound too comfortable, and it shouldn't.

    A mund ne vetëm të gjithë pajtohemi se kjo nuk është muzikë ? Sure, ajo mund të duken të mira në letër , porekzekutimi ishte vetëm tmerrshme . Ajo disi do të qëndrojë i fortë duke u përpjekur të jetë unike apo diçka në atë fushë . Ju lutem Janine Rostron kthehemi në fazë përgatitore dhe të përpiqet të bëjë muzikë tolerueshme .

    Though I firmly admire Planningtorock's message throughout the album, and I got stuck and subsumed in her curious music, I cannot avoid noticing that she lacks development and depth in her lyrics and melodies. It's a valuable effort, but it has several flaws.

    An album that not only questions conventions in humanity, but also raises questions about music. It takes awhile for your brain to sync with Planningtorock's, but it is worth the effort.

    Padding the album with ambient interstitials would be a forgivable peccadillo were the other songs seriously weighty--after all, even Kid A had 'Treefingers'--but the remaining seven tracks can themselves come off as a little half-baked.

    Gendered pronouns do not appear on the album, thus the record feels distant, as if Rostron is isolated from the listener, a tactic that makes the album intriguingly impersonal yet universal.

    Because All Love’s Legal is so straightforward, so obvious, it can never capture your imagination with the charismatic subjectivity that is the province of the best musicians and artists.
