Dec 3, 2021The best out of the Kick series. Banger after banger! Arca knows how to make experimental bops!
-
Dec 6, 2021very refreshing album. arca is leaning more towards avant garde pop and i love it
-
Dec 3, 2021My favorite between all the 4 new albums, it's so weird and unpredictable, it surprises you in every sense
-
Dec 7, 2021restless, challenging listen – beats that sound like gunfire, churning and gibbering electronic noise. She distorts her vocals in ways that sometimes remind you of Prince as his female alter-ego Camille, or the helium samples of old hardcore, though they generally sound quite nightmarish.

Dec 11, 2021IDK WHY BUT GOT THE FEELING THAT MOST PEOPLE DIDNT NOTICE THIS ÁLBUM WAS RELEASED COUPLE DAYS AGO, BUT, JUST LISTENED ON SPOTIFY AND I LOVEEEEEEIT

Dec 8, 2021Kick iii PROBABLY is the Best from the Kick era, Arca just made a good album
-
Dec 21, 2021The best of the later part of the kick releases, just behind Kick I (personal opinion), I love the dystopian sounds that altogether make the beat of each song, its just an audible orgasm to be able to hear that kind of stuff.
Its not a 10 because as I said, the best of the kick series (for the only reason of how much complete it is and how it works as a whole album) is the kick I album. -
Dec 12, 2021Arca released a powerful, experimental and completely unpredicted project, executes variety of genres, moods and themes that definitely satisfy listeners.

Jan 26, 2022This nasty, edgy, technological, industrial, dystopian, transhumance, avant-garde and noise is, AWESOME. This is the future of the music!

Dec 8, 2021My actual score for this is 9.5, but I'm just gonna round it up anyway. I wouldn't immediately recommend it to people who haven't been exposed to her earlier works (Kick 1 and self-titled are good gateway albums); however, if you're an open listener who loves a good, assertive, electronic, energetic, metallic, sexual album, then you have to listen to this. This is Arca at her absolute best.

Dec 14, 2021This album is easily Arca's most evenly balanced work in terms of structure and rhythm. She uses many harsh transients in songs like Skullqueen and Rubberneck, with more calm rhythmic transients in Intimate Flesh and Joya. Overall, this work is something from the future, and I believe she will inspire a new kind of creativity, hence my rating of 10.

Dec 19, 2021If i need to say, this is the best KiCK in the 5 KiCKs, the album feels like you're in a raising hell. Everything in this album is wild and free. Although, this is my favorite album besides Xen, Mutant and KiCk i. This queen is living in the future.

Rolling StoneJan 5, 2022An astonishing - at times overwhelming - four-album, 47-track, two-and-a-half-hour release. [Jan 2022, p.71]
-
Jan 4, 2022Taken together, the albums are overwhelming in their stylistic diversity; one minute, she’s serving up clattering electro on the likes of iii’s ‘Skullqueen’ or ‘Ripples’, and the next, we’re hearing her break classic ideas of what ambience should mean to fit her own mould on the Oliver Coates-featuring ‘Esuna’
-
The WireDec 22, 2021Having all this material together is bittersweet – rather than four distinct sets, couldn’t these styles have been brought together in a more innovative way? Arca’s work is invariably surrounded by much chatter about disrupting musical forms, but four albums divided into four distinct moods feels like an unusually conservative vehicle for her ideas. [Jan 2022, p.59]
