    For this one — their best, or at least most accessible, album in years, a sumptuous serving of R&B filled with winks to ‘70s and ‘80s R&B and especially classic Michael Jackson — they outdid themselves.

    It's a more straightforward offering than their previously tangential records, though no less compelling for it. [Aug 2025, p.79]

    The highlights are "TH", "RL", "KTYWS" and "WAL", which all dig deep into Quincy Jones=style late-70s boogie and disco: a riot of rubbery, pitchwheel-assisted synth basslines, smart horn stabs and Cleo Sol's flirtatious, harmony-laden vocals. [Aug 2025, p.37]

    Perhaps their least remarkable record, from its messaging which has grown increasingly unrelatable outside of religious contexts, and a collection of instrumentals which are another iteration of a sound previously travelled on more groundbreaking records. But don’t forget, they’re still firmly within zeitgeist territory.
