Summary:
"From the first notes of 'Bad Blood' [Smith's] talents are wonderfully showcased. Throughout its twelve tracks, Smith has created a patchwork of vaguely sinister tales, referencing all manner of subject matter... the darkness remains enticing. Working with the pathos and intelligence of his words comes the juxtaposition of his sonic efforts. Coupling his somewhat dark words with the up lifting chants and synths of 'Overjoyed' and 'Flaws', his music is a thrilling example of what great pop music can achieve"--This is Fake DIY.
