Jul 20, 2018So after a solid three listens in a row, I give this album an 9 out of 10. The production is top notch. The vibe is right. The band is as on point as ever. Syd's voice is as magical as it has ever been. However, I was hoping that this would eclipse Ego Death and for me [and this is me only] it did not. The album is still a sexy solid groove that has a lot of 80's funk and quiet storm feels.

Aug 9, 2018What a great album! For starters, it's really well produced. Syd and Steve Lacy add vocals which grove their way through every track. Lacy's guitar work takes you back to old soul and funk records, while Matt Martians cops, cuts and beats keep the music current. They all bring their individual talents to bear, on this fantastic album - 'Hive Mind' seems an appropriate title.

Sep 6, 2018I like this one. It's a step in the right direction, but has very little replay value.

Jul 20, 2018Their best album to date, Hive Mind is even better than Ego Death. The Internet finds a way to improve with every LP.

Jul 27, 2018A strong and warm album about love. The Internet at his best! A summer jam and a future classic.

Jul 24, 2019Honestly hive mind was one of my favourite albums out of 2018, although i did liked ego death way more, i felt like i had to listen to this album a few times so i can enjoy it more. It definetly has some great songs like: look what u started and hold on. But none compare to the legends that lie along ego death, for example: special affair, curse or even girl.

Aug 2, 2018One of the best R&B/soul albums of 2018.
-
Aug 1, 2018Hive Mind remains as soulful as ever, weaving disparate sounds and textures without feeling erratic; it’s moving even at its most minimal.

Jul 26, 2018Though brief, a tardy reprise of the adventurous sound that opens the release is an exciting display of The Internet’s true brilliance, which finds them absolutely nailing every transition and avoiding the anticlimactic ending suggested by a number of the preceding tracks with a pair of stone-cold bops.
