Lahai

Imo, we already had enough records like this one in the original list. They sound all the same to me

9/10. This was super cool, would switch between several different sounds and styles so suddenly, with instruments coming in and out, switching from singing, to spoken word, and then speeding that up into rap… and it all fit together.

I liked this a lot, an artist I'd probably never have heard of outside this. Interesting lyrics, some unusual and subtle stuff going on with the music. Admittedly pretty arty, but we'll executes art and attracting a lot of talent. To me it was perhaps mellow and low-key to a fault, and could some faster paced intervals of funk or jazz or something elements.

A great addition, although it is a little same and is a little new to guarantee staying power

A cool listen. 8/10

This album feels like it's building up towards something that never quite pays off.

This was fine and I think really is ideal for when you want music *on* but don't want to actually *listen* to it.

Although this is normaly not the kinda music I would listen to, this was quite enjoyable.

It's a strange one because this really isn't my type of music but he's got such a nice tone to his voice. I'd normally give 1 star for this sort of music but it's actually a lot better than I expected.

Lahai sounds real nice. Somehow each and every part sits far back in the mix; Owen Pallett's name in the credits was the biggest thrill he supplied. Where the record sits between influences is clear-ish, the case young and less so.

At the first song, I thought I would want to turn off the music very quick. But the second song I liked more. After that the album went a bit boring and much of the same

This didn't do it for me.

I tried, but I just can't get into this. 2 stars.

3 Very worth a listen 2

Mmmm.... no

This album seamlessly blended 4 or 5 distinct musical genres into something I struggled to stay awake for. 1 point for referencing Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, but then 1 point taken away for making it really, really boring. Otherwise... it's like the wikipedia critics listened to a completely different album. Going by critical opinion alone, this should be 2023's answer to <big 1970s album>. Didn't anyone (other than me) listen to this and just feel completely underwhelmed? bored? impatient? 1/5.

Not sure what it is but every one of this guy's vocals sounds whiny and pleading. Couple that with some mostly generic ambient music in the background, and this was an absolute struggle of a listen. Also, this came out a little over 6 months ago – maybe allow critical reception to cool first before adding it to a list of all-time albums? Just a thought.
