| 5.0 classic | fran tall ear | July 28th 15 |
utterly scathing commentary on the nature of the modern world set to wonderfully floaty arrangements, incidental music performed mostly on acoustic instruments with a free, atonal bite to them. Dagmar's voice is astounding and while her delivery might initially be off-putting it's hard to imagine the lyrics working properly if they were pronounced any less sternly. Frith and Cutler are superb accompanists but we all already knew that

| 3.5 great | didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | December 21st 21 |
'The World As It Is Today' is anything but easy to digest. It doesn't want to be accessible, that is not the point. It ravages through artistic statements in some very abrasive, cold-hearted, turbulent ways, often intentionally annoying or alienating its audience with vocal and instrumental experiments. But if you are patient, give it the time to marinate, endure its outbursts, you can come away with a plenty rewarding album.
