Reviews
"Anthony Gonzalez, the man behind M83, has an obvious concept: a larger, grander gesture of his artfully crafted, heavily nostalgic ambiance, admittedly drawing inspiration from other large-scale releases...", Ranked #19 in Spin's 'The Top 40 Albums Of 2011' -- "The results bring to mind a European art film, one taking place in an idealized past where innocence is only an illusion away.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "When it's not luring you to the dance floor with thrilling 1980s pop, M83's widescreen music either sounds like a lost John Hughes movie or gets trippy...", "M83 mastermind and gauze-pop aficionado Anthony Gonzalez wraps hooks and hallucinations in bubbly melodies..." -- Grade: B+, "A pervasive dedication to heart-swelling melodrama is M83's gift....The album is full of goose-bump moments...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "HURRY UP...employs banks of multi-tracked vocals, waves of epic Sigur Ros-style synths and a celestial production."
