POISON SEASON APPROACHIN', FUCK WHATEVER Y'ALL BEEN HEARIN'

8 Bumps | Bump

5.0 classicjercohen | August 28th 15

Wow, Kaputt is an amazing album but I felt that it at times lacked in sonic variety- This album surpasses Kaputt by expanding on the sound of that album, but mixing new influences drawing from showtunes and classical music. The moments on this album where Bejar lets everything loose, like in 'Dream Lover', and 'Midnight Meet the Rain', are some of the best moments in his career. Other softer songs like 'Time Square, Poison Season I', and 'Girl in a Sling' are beautiful and bring a sense of compositional complexity I didn't know Bejar had in him.

Come, take my hand as we stroll through the glorious Times Square.

3.6 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | April 26th 21

Another impeccably produced album - if anything this is even more lush than Kaputt - with the usual "eh whatcha sayin' mate" lyrics and where sophistication seeps out of every musical pore. What's the catch? Well, the catch is that this follows the best 2010s sophisti-pop record. You can thus propose an even more polished production, but it won't be enough to top the dude's best songs. There are some gems here ("Time Square", "Dream Lover" among others), but they do only represent a quarter of the album, the rest being "good but not Kaputt good".

2.0 poorTheManMachine | October 27th 15

This venomous juncture sees Bejar ditching the creamily opulent grooves and soulful femme-backups of Kaputt for something less quick-to-click -- which would be a-ok if it weren't so comically histrionic through-n-through. The ubiquity of baroque/piano/bongos sounds hifalutin and hokey more often than not and rarely is there a balance struck between underwritten and overwritten, a reprised Times Square trio seems fairly trivial, "Dream Lover" is a noisy one-off salvo of monumental stadium-rock that comes off as a premature jolt at track two. Furthermore, the nonchalantly delivered impromptu lines feel stock and curiously charmless this time around -- there was an extensive period where "It's a miracle every time I open my mouth" would've almost rang true. Now I just kinda like whenever he says "scum", or emphasizes the 'kok' in "Bangkok".

This is pretty bad; biggest dissapointment of the year. I really enjoyed Kaputt and this is a weak follow-up
