Noah Guthrie“As he gains more experience in the industry, believe it or not, he'll be capable of even greater things, so this is just a small taste of what his full talent level will be able to produce. At the end of the day, though, it's arguable that the album [Among The Wildest Things] is one of the catchiest, most diverse of the year, and as such, it's getting the score that it's getting today. What an artist!”
