    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.

    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.
