    Screw the critics this is my favorite KKB album. It's catchy but it feels like it has depth and turns that the other albums lacked. I can listen to this album repeatedly and not get tired of it. Other KKB albums I enjoy and then spit out like chewing gum. Time 'n' Place forever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is great. The grunge-pop elements are clever and the end of "Only Acting" is sure to catch someone off guard if they are listening to this album for the first time. I hope to see more from KKB in the future.… Expand

    KKB successfully challenged themselves to branch into different styles than what gave them traction with previous works leading up to Totep. One should not expect fan service from Bonito Generation, but the tracks keep the same youthful energy with more mature content. If Bonito Generation was the children's album of the year, consider Time 'N' Place to be the rebellious adolescent's alternative.

    One of my favourite albums of 2018. they really have grown since bonito generation (which was still great). Sarah Bonitos voice sounds so good and I love the production.

    me sorprende el contraste de este álbum y el anterior. este llega a ser más pesado y con una estética algo más oscura (y creo que llega a ser un plus). me gusta mucho cómo el álbum llega a mezclar ruidos fuertes con melodías suaves. mis canciones favoritas son only acting, swimming y make believe

    Pretty good album. A few low points, but overall really good. I love the vocals, and the instrumentals feel nice and slightly experimental.

    wasn’t expecting such a great and twisted album by kkb.

    a total switch up of sound whilst also sticking to their roots, the production has matured so much since their debut mixtape “intro bonito”

    Time 'n' Place is not a long album, and it doesn't have time to get tiresome. It feels like something transitional as if Kero Kero Bonito are working their way into something that is more sustainable than the often wild, sometimes too-cute experiments of their past.

    Time 'n' Place is challenging, but its rewards are commensurate, and while the band may lose some of their more fickle fans with this release, it's always refreshing to see artistic growth put first, especially when it pays off like this.

    The content is memorable, but the melodies aren’t. Still, stronger and more diverse than their debut.
