    This the typical "Oh My God" album, fantastic music, amazing stories and brilliant production.
    I actually think that there's nothing even distantly out of place in it.
    I wish that more music was like this nowadays, pure and wishing only to tell stories that people can actually enjoy, transforming the complex in something so easy too listen too that seems unreal.
    **** Genius with caps F and G.

    Simply a fantastic album. Creative, alluring, dance worthy, rock n roll purity.

    *There are a few tracks on the album that I'm not a fan of...but these are also tracks that some other people love. A few of the songs, such as "Peel My Orange Every Morning", have very interesting cadences/sounds. After a couple listens, this song in particular really grew on me.    … Expand

    Transangelic Exodus is easily his most ambitious album but, for him, feels like a natural progression, seeing him find new ways to open up.

    A great deal of well-written, rigorously observed detail.

    It turns out that Transangelic Exodus is a fitting title, then, for an artist emerging from his early career and crafting a new project that’s satisfying and unique.
