    A few moments of interest cant save this project from a lack of focus, Allie X has a lot of ideas on Cape God, not all of them good; and together they make for a jarring experience.

    Completely lacking individuality. Majority of the album sounds the same (like its trying to be Bad Liar by Selena Gomez). Unpleasant voice, cliched lyrics, predictable melodies. Mitski stole the show on that duet. Not good. Massively overrated by her fans.

    These songs may sound fun, upbeat, and lovelorn, but there's a dour and utterly realistic undercurrent that makes Cape God Allie X's most relatable and human effort to date.

    When Hughes tries out more rote pop songs, Cape God can get a little dry. ... Still, the sad world of Cape God is an alluring one, and Hughes’ vocal range is its unequivocal linchpin.

    Allie X's debut, 2017's CollXtion II, was a fun, if simplistic outing, but Cape God is an album undeniably made by a woman truly forging her own path however she sees fit. Not to mention championing the wickedly bright future of avant-garde, ascendant music.
