Stu - LOVE THIS LP, OWN IT ON COLOUR VINYL 8/10 ❤️❤️❤️ Starts off with a beautiful track and sets the bar very high! It maintains the quality throughout, I love Karen O's voice and I like the accompanying music a lot! I’ve played this 4 times on headphones and it’s just great!! Good choice Ben ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ⭐

Paul - I first bumped into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the mid-2000s, I didn’t go for their brand of indie at the time and haven’t considered them since. I’m a fair-minded man though so when Ben suggested their new album I was interested to see how they’d progressed. But not for long. It’s downhill after the first few bars. It’s just not very interesting. There are brief passages I like that don’t go anywhere or hang around too long but after my first listen I had forgotten what any of it sounded like after two hours. And on second listen I can remember two things, one of which is annoying. I’m afraid it’s a no no no from me.

Ben - I quite like the 80s feel, the big synths and big sound. I like the singles on their own but put it all together in an album and it does sound a bit samey. I don't think I will be listening to it again.
