| 4.0 excellent | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | August 20th 23 |
There are moments where I genuinely am surprised that this has not outgrown its welcome yet, what with the artist constantly pulling the same few tricks, sounding mostly the same throughout, which I often found a detriment with the genre. However, shockingly enough, the simplicity and suave nonchalance is oh so infectious.

| 3.6 great | Erwann S. STAFF | September 29th 22 |
As the dexbro said, the record's pacing is its biggest fault. Alternate funky jams and contemplative synth works and you'll get a slapper.

Jammed the French version because why would I not. This album's main mistake is to start quite funky and boppy, and then to deprive us of that for the rest of the album, with the exception of 10 which is an instrumental reprise of a prior track anyways. I feel like opening on a few of the more psychedelic/soft songs would have made them work a lot better, as here the contrast with the explosive tracks hurts them a bit. Beside this structural problem, the album is as always quality through and through. 1 takes its time to introduce the album with some classic L'I smooth synthwork, 2 delights us with beautiful synthy bass that makes me want a moog. This nice basswork is continued on 3, but to be frank the sort of multi vox disco vocals in English work less well for me than the regular L'I vocals and the track feels a bit anecdotal. 4 is a huge jam with again funky moogy bass and a great a capella intro. Then the album goes a lot calmer on the nice 5, and as I said hardly picks back up after that. 6 is similar and has some cool added vox. 7 is more lush and cuddly. 8 does give us a bit of the Moog funk back, but it's not as explosive as before. 9 is an excellent 'scared' song, and 11 is also an excellent song that makes me thikn of the drifty space tracks in super mario galaxy lel. Its only flaw is that it really doesn't conclude into anything, reinforcing this feel of the album falling a bit too soft in its latter two thirds, and settling that it belongs below 4.0 tier. Yet with the quality I can't decently give any less than a 3.7
