I'd rather buy a scratched Abba record covered in gravy - it would sound far more interesting.

It remind's me of Nico singing with Khymer Rouge's gamelan orchestra.

"[Philip] Glass never had a good idea he didn’t flog to death: He repeats the haunting scale 30 mind-numbing times, until it’s long past time to go home."

"[Sam Smith's] album Love Goes was supposedly 'experimental', and 'allowed me to be whoever I wanted to be in the studio that day' etc. As it turned out, it was about as experimental as a packet of digestive biscuits."

[Inclusion of] Scuba's "Hundreds and Thousands" [is] something of a bewildering choice considering its unique place in Scuba's otherwise excellent back catalogue as being as exciting as waiting for the kettle to boil.

(...) you'll find little of the bent jack-house associated with VonStroke or the stripped down techno that 3 Channels is known for. Instead, [Catz 'n Dogz] opt for an off-kilter, club-worthy exotica, with jungle drums and humid, sweat-drenched production that's reminiscent of the music that acts such as Chaino and His African Percussion Safari were producing in the '60s for suburban-swinger parties. Only with a bigger kick drum, of course.

It's one of those albums that give you the sudden urge to water your plants.

Spirit at least had a new idea (for DM): politics, with the climate, the US right and tech dystopia all essayed. But it’s more like a series of angry Facebook posts than an album of music, even by Depeche Mode’s gloomy and dissatisfied standards.

(...) “Rain on Snow,” featuring Wu-Tang philosophers Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, and Raekwon reflecting on the modern world, boasts a beat so dated (...) that you find yourself waiting for one of them to start rapping about the Y2K bug.

If Li was a Pokémon collector So Sad So Sexy would have caught ‘em all, but alas--this is music.

Given that the last Mr. Fingers full-length, Back to Love, came out in the second year of Bill Clinton’s presidency, it’s understandable if Heard wants to make up for lost time, but the album probably doesn’t need to be 100 minutes long.

So devastating is the level of destruction in this particular ‘reimagining’, that the existence of the original song could only be confirmed by reference to its dental records.

Sorry, but this is utterly pointless. Verging on blasphemy. Why do this to these beautiful songs. It's like cutting up the Mona Lisa into a hundred pieces then showing you bits of them in random order while tap dancing to a drum machine.

This guy can define his whole career by 'not quite meeting expectation'.
