Sep 21, 2014Every single song on the 18 track deluxe version is meticulously crafted, featuring Banks haunting and powerful vocals, and most have a very sincere emotional tone and atmosphere. Goddamn, this is one of the surprise albums of the year for me--she has completely exceeded my expectations on this debut LP.

Sep 11, 2014While I was listening this album, I felt like the drama and the love was in a perfect harmony. Banks used the Experimental beats to do an amazing work, with musics great and that really look like a Goddess.

Sep 9, 2014True art. Listening to this album was made me zone out completely. Its just beautiful and truly inspiring. Banks is definitely the breakout star of 2014.

Oct 13, 2014Banks' debut album Goddess offers some great brooding singles included on her previously released EP's; the real question is if those singles truly warrant a full LP because the rest of the "album" feels a little filler.

Oct 19, 2014In the beginning of this album, Banks sounds for me a little bit like FKA Twigs, but in the course of the album she shows that she has a big and artistic personality. With Dark and Angelic voice, instrumentals very sewn, I think she doesn't have a good tactic with the lyrics, but in the general I wouldn't change nothing.

Sep 27, 2014Amazing. Very beautiful, I love her voice and the music fits her voice really well. Only reason i wouldn't give the album a 10 is because it was very long, some songs were forgettable. Still a great album.

Nov 30, 2014Wonderful album. Banks really has a lot of vocal talent. Some songs on this LP drag out, but others pump up the mood. Ballads like "You Should Know Where I'm Coming From" and "Change" are highlights on this album. Other songs with more electronic style like "Goddess" and "Waiting Game" are necessities on the album. Overall, this album is great! I would definitely recommend buying it. 9/10

Sep 11, 2016Banks has some powerful vocals aligned with a very emotional and peculiar atmosphere. But, there are times that you feel that she's slightly missing the point and turning some songs into boring and obnoxious ballads.

Sep 17, 2014Banks is at her best when roiling in the uncertainty that accompanies desire both thwarted and fulfilled.

MojoSep 12, 2014Goddess weaves a captivating spell that many are certain to fall under. [Oct 2014, p.87]

Sep 11, 2014Yet for all the individual moments of sleek electronic beauty, Goddess as a whole often sounds frustratingly unconvincing and almost fragmented in its production.
