"Cool" indeed, but it's hard to come back to this once you've heard Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew. This is like Pablo Honey.

All the genuine charm that was missing from yesterday’s George Jones album. RIP Dolly.

I gave Exile three stars, so this is automatically a one or a two. While this was terrible, it wasn't quite painful, so I'll go with two.

Textbook example of classic country. The band is great but I can only take so much schmaltzy crooning.

Yeah, that was nice. This one really tickles my postcentral gyrus.

I forgot what I was going to say.

I thought this was very artistic and enjoyable in the way a David Lynch film is enjoyable— it’s not all warm and fuzzy but it will rattle around in one’s melon for a few days afterward.

I didn’t like this at all. The Police are the Eagles of early 80s pop-rock.

Like a glass of distilled water at room temperature.

I don't care for it, but it's short and sweet and you can bop along to it a little bit and some days that's good enough.

My older sister moved to NYC in 2002, when she was 21 and I was 19. I used to visit her every year until I moved there myself in 2010. She lived in the East Village and later in South Brooklyn, where I lived as well. I had so many great adventures there. This album reminds me of those times.

The message was strong and the production was good.

"Afrobeat and rockabilly infused '00s post-punk lent circus surrealism by Hayden Thorpe's rich falsetto and arcane lyrics" does not sound like something I would enjoy. Maybe their other albums are different? I thought this was perfectly deft indie-rock-infused pop. I can't say I'd be tripping over the ottoman to listen to it again, but it was good.

Not really a great effort from Neil, I'm afraid. It's fine but not at all essential listening.

Really nice album. Got it a few days ago and have listened to it three times. Hell, I'll listen to it again right now.

The keywords for this album include: noise, angry, hate, abrasive, loud, intense, etc. Not my usual fare. And the truth is, I didn't enjoy about 75% of this album, but Closer and Hurt sort of tie it all together and justify the experience. I can respect the artistry in something I don't find aesthetically pleasing.

An artist I’m familiar with from a genre I like: usually a one-way ticket to four-star city. This one however is missing the magic pixie dust. I enjoyed it, but I don’t think I would actively listen to it again with purpose, and therefore I must give it three.

Not really sure what they were going for here.

God awful. I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck you to everyone who made this album possible, including: Aaron Lepley, Al Sutton, Andrew Nehra, Damon Wimbley, Dave Robinson, David Bottrill, Derek Matuja, J. Williams, Jalil Hutchins, Jason Krause, Jennifer Barbato, Jimmy Bones, Joe C., John Travis, Joseph Cultice, Kenny Olson, L. Michael Smith, Lindsey Buckingham, M. Morales, Mark Schafer, Marshall Mathers, Misty Love, Randy G., Shirley Hayden, Stefanie Eulinberg, The Twisted Brown Trucker Band, Todd Shaw, Tony Dawsey, Tweeds Kracker, and Holland/Dozier/Holland.

I kinda agree with the good reviews and the bad reviews.
