    Definitely their best album. Pop perfection on its best shape. Synth-pop, electro-pop, country and pop-rock, all combined masterfully. Brilliant.

    "Silk Chiffon" featured one of the catchiest choruses of the year, but MUNA's self-titled album tried the same formula over and over again. The album features pop songs that could fit on any Top 40 radio station and presents little to nothing new. It's a solid album, but in my opinion, far from being one of the best of the year.

    Silk chiffon was my number 1 song of 2021, and now I have an excuse to put it on my top songs this year too. Persuading Phoebe Bridgers to sing an upbeat song is already an achievement. But also contained within this album is one of the greatest opening lines to any song on "anything but me". There are some absolute hits on this album, like the aforementioned songs and "home by now" and noSilk chiffon was my number 1 song of 2021, and now I have an excuse to put it on my top songs this year too. Persuading Phoebe Bridgers to sing an upbeat song is already an achievement. But also contained within this album is one of the greatest opening lines to any song on "anything but me". There are some absolute hits on this album, like the aforementioned songs and "home by now" and no real misses. I also love drops in pop songs. Brilliant album, deserving of the "self-titled" moniker.… Expand

    Greatest band in the world. Every single is a hit, and the deep cuts on the record are just as good. It's rare for me to be excited about an entire album, and MUNA has pulled that off here.

    What an album. With this masterpiece, MUNA got back to "about u"'s level. Every single song has a whole world of meaning. It is incredible how good both lyrics and production of every single song reach for the stars. MUNA is one of the bast bands of our generation, and it is a pity that they haven't gotten yet the worldwide recognition they deserve. Can't wait for their next artistic creation!

    While the rest of the record never quite reaches that level of instantaneous pop gratification [as "Silk Chiffon"], Muna still turn in some of their better songs from there while also taking their sound to new places.

    On MUNA, the group has crafted a collection boldly exploring how being queer is composed of joys and traumas, and there’s no shame in messily embracing both. As they put it on their first album, we are loudspeakers.

    On their self-titled third album, MUNA step fully into their role as pop stars and mentors, offering gentle instructions for falling in love, dusting yourself off, and joyfully living your truth.
