Jul 26, 2020Best album of all time. A wholistic album that is amazing from start to finish.
-
Jul 13, 2019A great “feel good” album, with tons of creative, funny, and obscure samples and has top-tier production.

Jul 11, 2019I don't think Wildflower is a bad album at all, and maybe it is because I haven't listened to it enough, but I do not think this album is as outstanding as "Since I Left You", the previous album by the Avalanches. It still is a fine listen.

Feb 1, 2017It could be just me or is Frankie Sinatra the only good song on this album. A lot if it is just noise. Apparently the song about the subway was written and sung by a kid, which would explain why its rubbish. I wouldn't buy an album for one song.

Jan 19, 2017Overproduced, self indulgent, masturbatory rubbish. 2 white Aussies appropriating black american culture. Basically just a compilation of sounds, american dialogue, mixed with some rap here and there.

Sep 4, 2016After all the false starts surrounding the release of this album - many of them no doubt coordinated by the band in order to remind folk that they were still alive - 'Wildflower' needed to be good in order to sustain the hype surrounding its release. And it is. It's a lovely thing, summery, breezy and written by people in a happy place or taking the right drugs to put them in a happy place.

Jul 20, 2016Listening to this album is like walking through the meadow on warm sunny spring day... this is little twin brother to 'since I left you' 10/10 (I signed up to this web just to vote for this gem album)

Jul 19, 2016As much as it is rewarding to listen to, it often feels as if it crumbles under its own weight as a dense and scenic album. While it may be a tribute to the barren beauties of Australia, "Wildflower" somewhat fails to encapsulate them.

Jul 5, 2016I've waited a long time for this album and I'll be honest if I say that I'm slightly disappointed. The rap parts are a great bonus, yet the tracks do feel a bit repetitive and tiring at times.

Jul 5, 2016I've waited 15 years for this album. These guys have kept the magic that made their 1st album so special to us. You can't say that for a lot of artists! This album will make you smile, even if there's not as much variety / experimentation as their 1st album.

MagnetAug 11, 2016The Avalanches bag production, they roller-coaster; got to be jokers, they just do what they please. [No. 134, p.51]
-
Aug 10, 2016Wildflower is simply a joy, an euphonious hour-long journey that exists in some wonderfully naive and blissful alternate universe. It’s an aural paradise you’ll never want to leave.
-
UncutAug 5, 2016Wildflower does a robust job of reiterating core skills rather than offering radical reinvention. [Sep 2016, p.66]
