Review by Mira Okafor★★Sample

I wanted to love this so badly. “The Desert Music: Fifth Movement (Fast)” is fine I guess.

Too long by about four songs. Trim it down and we talk.

There's a version of me before this album and one after, and the after one is insufferable about it.

Not every song lands, but when it does it LANDS. “The Desert Music: Fifth Movement (Fast)” is the keeper.
