    Thrilling and breathtaking first solo album by Kim Gordon. Noisy, electronic and No Wave rock, great songs indeed. Well done, Kim.

    I'm not sure what I was looking for in a Kim Gordon solo record, but this is not it.

    While this album includes experimentation this is the end of the road for members of the Sonic Youth. This albums results are largely a disappointment for grizzled Sonic Youth fans. This albums' complexity is lost in past glories. This album doesn't look or sound very good for contemporary music. Solo Kim Gordon stinks.

    It's an inevitably cool record—who could possibly be cooler than Kim Gordon? But it's also a challenging, interesting, and demanding album that cues up a bright, loud future for Gordon's solo career.

    Even during the times where her restless experimentation threatens to become a bit self-indulgent, you’re never far away from a blast of feedback to grab your attention again. It all adds up to a welcome return for one of rock music’s true modern icons.

    Gordon sings with a becalmed daydream-y satisfaction, mixing and matching phrases from different notebooks into a confident patchwork. [Nov 2019, p.54]
