Dec 20, 2022this album is especially magnificent in showing the qualities of life. this album brings emotion only one of high intelligence can record to, my favourite thing about the album is that stated from Anthony fantano "this album Is bad" that's a real quote that was inserted by biog dicks dicks dicks. so Denzel is better and this album is ass and is worse than FERRIS BULLER'S BIGGGGGG DAYYYYY OFFFFFFFF

Oct 31, 2022While a solid album, it is weighed down by too many songs that overstay their welcome, something of a theme for the band.

Oct 8, 2022I really enjoyed this. It's a great successor to the debut. I loved "Bread Song" and "Basketball Shoes." I think this is better than the debut. Overall, great album. I think it's going to go down as one of the best albums of the decade. It's long but worth the listen. Very enjoyable rock and jazz music. It's very creative and different from most rock right now.

Oct 7, 2022Found this vinyl at a bookstore, looked interesting so I decided to pick it up. The intro track had me instantly hooked, and kept me intrigued throughout this entire beautiful, emotional, crushing journey. It's unreal that this is only the second project from this group, I can't wait to see what they do next. Album of the year.
Favorite track: Basketball Shoes -
Sep 19, 2022Beautiful, powerful, fun, joyful and sad, basically perfect technically but without being too pretentious, this is a perfect rock album with some of the most amazing moments both in sound and lyrically, perfect music.
aoty don't @ me -
Aug 22, 2022Great work on this from my fave artist probably ever. also! had a hard time trying to understand what she was speaking through the album. He makes it hard to truly understand what was going through their mind in making such a widely uncomfortable yet simply delivered on what needed to be done.

Aug 19, 2022Album of the year. Each member of the band is clearly so talented. Their chemistry is just off the charts.

Jun 13, 2022The hype here is bordering on hysteria. It's a provocative and interesting listen but often seems obscure because of an inability to articulate. The music might seem compelling to non-jazz fans but really isn't that impressive from a free form perspective.
-
May 18, 2022Exceptional chamber pop/baroque/rock album. Sonically and lyrically, it's so varied and so well-paced.

Apr 25, 2022There is not a bad song on this whole album. Isaac's vocals are emotional and sincere, the instrumentation is amazing, the lyrics are almost always meaningful, and the choruses are catchy.

Apr 8, 2022The return of blog rock? I tried to like this album, I really did. I heard such great things about it. But it's just too art school for me. Reminds me of New Pornographers and Animal Collective - blog rock bands I tried really hard to like 10 years ago, and never managed to.

Apr 6, 2022amazing and emotional i haven't had anything bless my ears and **** my mind like this before

Mar 15, 2022This the type of album that I would consider an 'instant classic'. In the coming years I think this album will certify its status as a masterful piece of work.

Mar 4, 2022The production, lyrics, music, It all just screams instant music classic.And i believe it's gonna be strong contender for album of the year or even the album of an upcoming decade.

Feb 25, 2022One of the bests albums I've ever heard. It's great to be alive and listen to this.
-
Feb 23, 2022Very special. Feels like it should be very influential for future artists. Listening to this from start to end is just a joy and leaves you with F E E L I N G. Favourite track - The Place Where He Inserted The Blade
-
Feb 22, 2022A nice experiment, but all in all, it felt rather pretentious to me and there was no track I would like to listen to again.

Feb 8, 2022Knowing how it all ends does nothing to detract from the joy Black Country, New Road have poured into Ants From Up There—not when they spend every second reminding us of why we let ourselves get swept up in these beautifully doomed fantasies to begin with.
-
Feb 7, 2022Ants From Up Here is a thrilling listen, brimming with the confidence and electricity of a young band coming into their own on all fronts, pulling from the past but pushing it undeniably forward, and fully owning their ambition.
-
Feb 7, 2022Throughout “Ants From Up Here,” and through the course of every song, Black Country, New Road tests and reinvents itself, creating music that sounds both intricately plotted and precarious.
