    Cuts like "Possession," "Grudges," and "The Last Two People on Earth" have a cavernous, late-'80s and early-'90s alt-rock majesty, as Martinez frames her cracked porcelain vocals in shimmering, reverb-heavy guitars and synths, broken-glass percussion, and orchestral strings.

    What Martinez has is a bottomless supply of ideas — and there’s perspective and insight as she navigates her thoughts on technology and the digital age, even on the weaker moments of the album.

    A punishingly long 18 tracks that are almost all uniformly about Very Important Things. .... Hades does succeed when Martinez relieves herself of the need to make hamfisted woke pop.
