honestly this is a 9 for me. this album makes me feel things that only james blake has been able to make me feel. it’s kinda crazy

[ManLikeMatts]

Rosalia's small detour into English vocals finished me

[iceylatte]

"Into the Red" is definitely one of the greatest songs he's ever made

[zazapachuliaisbetterthanjo]

Still no Minecraft Soundtrack classic review? Smh.

Andre 3000 says "heady" not "petty"

[harryjang]

Pitchfork gave this a 5.8. Think about that.

[Lsd]

This album is great and a great start to the year

[dominic]

that's unusual of you to rebrand the floral flannel to "album of the century" review

Nice review Melon, but you didn't have to insinuate the fact that you were the reason behind my parents' divorce.

[mollypond]

we all know this joint a 10 but it’s whatevs

[jaredsaltus]

The only disagreement I have is that the title track is actually fucking amazing

[Nintendudelife]

imma focus on the light 8 part and let you off this time melon

[supertrainmaniac]

You often complain that James Blake's songs are spaced out but that's one of his best features. He doesn't have to fill every instrumental line up to make a good song. The simplicity in some of his songs is what makes it so unique

[jeanlucbergman]

Album is an 8/10, the album cover is a 1/10.
