Super Monster

Super Monster is the first studio album by American bedroom pop singer Claud, released on February 12, 2021, through Saddest Factory Records and Dead Oceans.

[5] Megan Walder of Clash felt differently, stating that Super Monster arrived with "unwavering confidence as a complete concept; avoiding the risk of being a flippant debut and instead standing concrete thanks to Claud's clear vision".

[6] DIY's Felix Rowe wrote that Claud's "brand of slick, understated pop could sit on a shelf alongside Haim, or Christine and the Queens" and the album "shows promise of a burgeoning artist finding their own voice".

[7] Harrison Smith of Gigwise described Super Monster as "loaded with non-conformist pop and touching personal narratives" and felt that its "demonstration of both adoration and observation of self-love comfortably invite the listener to do the same".

[8] Rachel Saywitz of The Line of Best Fit opined that the album "is able to find that beauty in love's most tragic moments, opening their heart to our ears as a healing gesture" and "the unique identity in each one of the 13 tracks is what makes it such a terrific and arresting listen".
