Aug 26, 2016Rarely is there an album that can be so diverse and still have every track be amazing. This is one of those albums. Also behind the great tunes is the fact that each is based on an album cover character which give the songs extra depth. I'm still not sure what my favorite track is and I'm not sure if I'll be able to pick one!

Sep 12, 2016I am so happy about this album. It's a "make's you feel good" album with catchy lyrics about pineapples being in their heads and unique beats that make this band sound a lot better and different from everyone in their competition! Keep up the good work!

Aug 26, 2016Wow. What a fantastic album. If you think ZABA is a good album, you're in for a treat. This is the perfect way to tell a story.

Sep 10, 2016I'm gonna be honest, this is a huge surprise for me. They were capable of reinventing themselves into a different band but without losing their essence. Glass Animals is definitely something to keep an eye on and this album is a prove of that.

Jun 27, 2022Amazing album, no boring tracks or filler. Every song is just so fun and a different vibe. Best songs are Life Itself, Cane Shuga, TOSOP, and Agnes.

Dec 24, 2021The peak of Glass Animals in my opinion. Exotic and wonder inducing sounds are laid out throughout the album to entrance you. The lyrics, while not too interesting or always coming off as sincere, are fun. And of course the whole package carries GA's ability to be incredibly groovy, funky, and catchy.

Dec 11, 2020This takes what made Zaba great and refines it. Compared to Dreamland, it’s got more grit, in a good way. It’s a nice point between the rough edges of Zaba and the sanded down Dreamland. It’s wonderfully chill, and it’s been in my top five albums every year since 2017.

Jan 20, 2023This conceptual album, brought me to my knees, as I appreciated GA’s best work yet. Every lyric, every heat reminds me whats it like to be a human being. This album reminds me that only human ingenuity can achieve a massive success like this.

Aug 26, 2016The album is nearly perfect! I'm in love with the new tunes since the release of 'Life Itself' but today I was really pleased to find out that it isn't event better song of the album. 'Take a Slice', 'Mama's Gun', 'Anges' are great and should be played live. The cover is also great. Can't wait to see them live in November!

Aug 29, 2016As a fan of their previous album, Zaba, I was really hoping this one would be even gooier and sexier than the last. It is not. But it might be better.

Nov 2, 2019This is a huge, visceral step forward from the moaning and whispering that pervaded the first Glass Animals album.

Aug 7, 2017Less eccentric and exciting than its predecessor, perhaps, but only by choice. Glass Animals are at their peak in 2016, and perfectly content to be slower and quieter, worming their way into your head by inches but settling in for the long haul once they're in there.

Sep 21, 2016Although elements remain, the core of humanity and character drive this collection to an equally intriguing effect and leaves a far more immediate impression.
