Apr 26, 2021This album slaps, I would describe it as psychedelic now-soul. Experimental soundscapes fill the gaps between soulful hooks, soft keys, and incredible vocals. I always feel like comparisons come up short, but to me it sounds like the structure of an album by The Mars Volta meets the sound of Erykah Badu

Jul 30, 2017Fantastic album; smooth, unassuming and luscious production. The vocals are unrelentingly delicious. Also a very versatile album, fills whatever void you need it to. Highly recommended (9.2-9.5/10).

Jun 19, 2017I really dont think there are any other band around right now that sound like HK. From the onslaught of complex rhythms interwoven through many hours of studio work, to the dank chord changes, to Nai Palms uniquely poetic lyrics. 9/10 would recommend.

Dec 1, 2015I would recommend this album to any interesting in experimental R&B / neo-soul. The lead singing has an interesting style and the beats take such unusual twists and turns. This is one of my favorite albums of 2015 and was an issue choice to buy on vinyl.

May 11, 2015Modern, Expire-mental, and a great understanding of R&B.
Pros:
Chord progressions on point, nice sense of melody, pretty production all over it, psychedelic vibes, and top notch vocals. What more could you ask for?
Cons:
Lacks a little bit of dynamics, could use a stronger sense of harmony, not very memorable, nothing spectacular.

MojoJul 28, 2015At 70 minutes long, there's a lot to digest but it's worth persevering with as repeated listens gradually unveil a musical universe unlike any other. [Sep 2015, p.89]

May 8, 2015The album's weakest points come in the shape of some unnecessary interludes that only act as murky limbos between its better parts.... Other than that, Hiatus Kaiyote have put together a project that is both vibrant and uninhibited in its nature.

May 8, 2015They make poignant soul that’s fresh sounding at all angles. Most importantly, Choose Your Weapon stands on its own as one of the year’s best albums.
