“This feels very conversational. Like you are at a concert, and she speaks to you in the audience, like she always does. The familial engagement also gives it a nice touch. And the production is the excellence I have come to expect from Raye, since I first heard her on the track "Love Me Again".”

“Refreshing new Bon Iver. I particularly love "If only I could wait" and "Award Season". It follows the usual melancholic tone but touches on fairly new topics in Bon Iver's discography.Award Season feels like a more somber reflection of self, a reminder that all times, good or bad, can change in such short time. My most cogent reason for favouring this album is the fact that something new unravels every other time I listen to it, either by my own self discovery, or by reading another person's thoughts on his lyrics. It was this way when I first heard "Holocene", it is now, and so may it continue. ”

“I love Macklemore's use of metaphors, and the conscientious approach to this album. It engages himself even as he shares his thoughts of the world around him. Neon Cathedral touches on alcohol addiction in way that engages the thought of religion as Marx perceived it, the opioid of the masses - addictive as it is relieving. I contend that it was well deserving of its Grammy, and a project true to the art form.”
