Reviews"Brion reins in Barnes' hyperactive tendencies...bringing just enough sanity to make his mad experiments succeed." -- Grade: B+, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This time, frontman Kevin Barnes is putting more flesh on his fantasies, camping up a Prince falsetto over psychedelic soul and New Wave disco.", "It's a credit to Barnes' genius that as freaky as the music gets, it never overwhelms his lyrics, which regularly achieve avant-garde levels of baffling.", "On False Priest, Brion Drastically Widens the Canvas, Giving the Music a Newfound Clarity...", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- “Although FALSE PRIEST, Of Montreal’s tenth album, is easily Barnes’ most accessible, you can still hear his estrangement in the unpredictable chord progressions...”, 4 stars out of 5 -- "FALSE PRIEST manages both to outrageously genre-flirt and house some of Barnes' most accessible moments thus far.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "FALSE PRIESTS is a blur of swings and roundabouts, the sheer ambition of its crazed vision propelling it through any lull.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Girl Named Hello' is convincingly funky, while 'Sex Karma', a duet with Solange Knowles, is deliriously silly bedroom R&B...”
