“BANKS finally lets the mask slip and goes straight for the jugular on The Altar”
“This sophomore effort builds off her debut, but loses the plot in a mass of electronic blackness and vague grievances. ”
“Banks’ The Altar has a lot in common with the alt-R&B singer’s breakthrough Goddess, including its fatal flaw: its attempts to position her as edgy or dangerous, despite all evidence to the contrary.”
“Banks returns with another underwhelming album.”
