Persona was met with widespread acclaim reviews from critics.[2] Sean O’Neal of The A.V. Club described the album as "A truly 'arthouse' album that begs repeated revisiting, to explore its many conflicting faces."[4] Lewis Wade of The Skinny reviewed "Persona is a gloriously potent success story, and a testament to his talent that he's managed to make one of the warmest and most reflective albums of the year so far, electronic or otherwise."[11]

gollark: Specifically, slower package management (especially with transistive dependencies), worse performance from loading more files for no good reason, and, more importantly, *security*.
gollark: Anyway, adding more packages for basically-one-line tasks incurs costs.
gollark: More efficient than `x % 2 === 0`? Is that likely?
gollark: > I created this in 2014, when I was learning how to program. - literally on the github page for `is-even` and yet 110,720 weekly downloads
gollark: `is-even` actually depends on `is-odd`, and just uses that with the `!` operator.
