"It is a wild ride."
"Alice Glass raises the bar, opening with 'Forgiveness' from her self-titled EP; a song title that offers a particularly ironic message given its repetitive, unrelenting aggression."
"There's a sense that, just like the repeated 'I wanna start again' lyrics in Stillborn, Alice Glass has been reborn via this solo outing and her courage and tenacity are truly inspirational."

"... Far from getting mawkishly nostalgic, [Danilova's] sixth long-player as Zola Jesus sombrely contemplates life and loss."
"This is the most special incarnation of my music that I feel will exist."
"People will create this version of you that they think you are, and then demand that you live up to that."
Who would’ve thought one of the year’s finest pop records would come from these mighty lungs?
Of the nine songs here, only one is a new track and five are from her most recent LP, so there is a tendency to compare these to the originals or perhaps feel slighted by a cover album of one’s own songs – but this wouldn’t be fair.
