Oct 13, 2014Genius that requires at least 5 listens before an opinion is made. It's getting better and better.. Best album of the decade. It's the sound of the coming revolution.

Oct 8, 2014This album is possibly my favorite album of all time. It is the first NEW sounding thing I've heard in a while. I have had this album on repeat since they first leaked it on Rolling Stone.

Jul 18, 2015This album took a long time to make sense. It seemed like a mess the first couple of times through. However, over several months I kept going back to individual tracks, and have now found a really deep album. Flip to Johan Von Bronx and Nintendo Blood; I would argue the singles aren't the best tracks on the album, albeit Human Sadness is extremely compelling.

Sep 23, 2014This is a pure experimental album with many layers in each song. Take it for what it is. Its a refreshing change of pace from what is 'regular' or normal music. Long live Jules.

Sep 23, 2014It is a fine record that is extremely dirty. If you are looking for something like Phrazes for the Young, look elsewhere. Casablancas alway delivers though.

Feb 24, 2015What I enjoyed from this record is how Julian never goes back to where he was before. The album doesn't sound like he's going straight to one destination, however. It's like if you held onto a skeleton's hand, and that skeleton actually had no idea where the hell he was going. The album is compelling, twisted, and overall it's just a good record. 7.7/10

MagnetNov 12, 2014His artistic sophistication and derring-do has reached a new (and, frankly, unexpected) level of maturity. [No. 115, p.56]

UncutNov 11, 2014A triumphant, ridiculous mess. [Dec 2014, p.73]

MojoNov 7, 2014For all its ambitious and admirable wilfulness, the sound of Casablancas playing in his sandpit is still an acquired taste. [Nov 2014, p.94]
