Critical reception
Rolling Stone, "It’s an album where Labrinth has been uncompromising in his grand vision and delivered something that sounds all the better for it."[3]
Billboard, "With his latest album, Cosmic Opera ACT I, he fuses orchestral elements with his more expected futuristic production, resulting in what has been coined as a “modern opera."[4]
The Guardian, "Moody and cinematic, songs such as IMPLOSION and S.W.M.F., bolt expansive strings on to pounding hip-hop beats."[5]
