    Can confirm that you did say you would give it a 9.7 back when we were the only ones who had it.

    You guys are seriously complaining about Pitchfork's 9.4 ? It's an excellent score, there's nothing more to say...

    nop, it keeps getting better for me

    1 critics even decided to update its score to 11/10

    Also replay value is extremely subjective and is not an indication of how an album will age
