When is a studio album by Vincent Gallo, released on Warp in 2001.
Critical reception
Tim DiGravina of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "With its smart, confident arrangements, consistent tone, and fascinating personal themes, the album sees Gallo making a bold, confident, and mature musical step of considerable relevance."[1] James Keast of Exclaim! described it as "an atypical, eccentric and occasionally atonal exploration of simple sounds and dissonant piano and guitar plinking."[3]
Alex Needham of NME said, "Gallo may not be reknowned(sic) for subtlety in his life, but he’s a master of it in his work."[4] David M. Pecoraro of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.3 out of 10, describing it as "a gorgeous collection of songs which paint an undeniably clear picture of their creator."[5]
In 2015, Clash named it one of the 7 best albums by artists more famous for other things.[7]
