Alopecia (10 Year Anniversary Edition)

Spin (p.106) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Laced with brainy raps, cooing backing vocals, and a keen attention to melancholy melodic detail..." Uncut (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] woozily layered, beguilingly fractured affair, driven by beats and samples..." Alternative Press (p.163) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Songs like 'Gnashville' and 'Good Friday' show signs of his roots, with a lyrical structure that's still quite poetic in its flow." CMJ - "[A]n all-embracing coup chockfull of nonsensical lyrics, scat-like phrasing and brooding beat-driven melodies with an underlying air of dark, fairy-tale detachment." Q (Magazine) (p.141) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[C]hatty, folk-pop hip hop....Contagious songs..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Wolf's sing-speak vocals are arresting, a warped sentimentality seeping through his dark-humoured flow on 'These Few Presidents.'" Clash (Magazine) (p.64) - Ranked #29 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "Neither hip-hop nor indie, nor folk, the band are at odds with convention, but also resonate with an admirable accessibility." URB (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Embracing verse over his usual metered prose, Wolf deftly distills his stalker stories, suicidal musings and knack for kaleidoscopic detail into taut, fluff-free raps."
