Reception

Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B- and called it "agreeably sedate."[1] Robert Christgau called the album a bomb.[5]

gollark: This seems more complex than the potatOS privacy policy and for what?
gollark: I don't understand what you actually mean, though.
gollark: I suspect they're deliberately trying to mildly harm the web to push people to native apps on their platforms.
gollark: And often randomly makes changes for no apparent reason which break things?
gollark: *Safari* half-implements them, often in broken ways which create more work than not having them would.
