Fantastic record.
How does adding vocals equals commercializing? Idk, about this review... It's grammatically well-written, but the content could use some work.

it's a better review than you've done in the past for bleepbloopy stuff, but it still feels like you're out of your league with stuff like this. I'm not good at writing reviews for electronic albums unless it's in a genre I specifically know a lot about.

Minimal producer Trentemøller
Mininimal house or techno. Minimal in itself is a classical genre.
His debut album The Last Resort had almost a melancholic undertone, and oftentimes its underlying feeling of disconnect
Almost? And instead of disconnect, I'd use escapism. Idk, it could be me, but I think disconnection is used when you break up with / stay away from other people.
Four of the ten tracks have vocals and repeating choruses are now common, but never once does it feel like he "sold out."
Bringing up a "selling-out" argument is really unnecessary here.
Into the Great Wide Yonder is buoyant
It's equally melancholic as the debut. Your definition of buoyancy is pretty weird.
classical progressions
?
glitchy-beach take on the Pulp Fiction theme
glitchy take on the Pulp Fiction surfer theme, or something. Your comparisons in this paragraph are pretty imaginative though. I like them.
Into the Great Wide Yonder is infectious but never cheesy, gripping yet generously tasteful
The "yet" should be replaced by an "and". Also, I know you say it's not cheesy, but why even use the word in this review? I suspect you're trying to make a link to mainstream Guetta house, but it's really not necessary.
I find that electronic music is very hard to write about, so I don't think your review is super bad or anything. But some claims are a bit weird or don't have any place in a Trentemoller review, imo. Keep writing though!

"Mininimal house or techno. Minimal in itself is a classical genre."

Aids, your post count is too high for you to be this considerate towards other's feelings.

This is minimal techno with bits of dub techno and house. It is also a very good album, but Last Resort is 10x better

Obviously TLR is better, that's a friggin' masterpiece. It's just great to see Trentemoller doesn't have to repeat himself to deliver a brilliant second album. I'm curious how his next will sound, if he would just stop with churning out compilations.

how did the last resort evoke bleakness despair loneliness?? was just relaxed minimal techno. writing what you did makes it look like you have no idea what youre talking about

@clercqie thanks for the feedback ill definitely fix those up when I get home. I was just shocked this didn't have a review yet so I wanted to get a little discussion going. Haxan is one of my favorites off this, along with even though you're with another girl, neverglade, past the beginning, and tide. Pretty much the whole album really
@aids what? I have nothing against you you've just been more obnoxious than usual lately

@alc not sure how that's relevant. it's like calling black metal bleak or saying death metal evokes anger or something, completely unrelated to the genre
|

Dude how the fuck do you have those increments?
And I didn't really find The Last Resort all that melancholy, it was just really amazing and relaxing minimal techno, but not that that's a bad thing for you to say it's just your feelings on it.

and yeah i guess its more personal than anything. the first time i heard the album it changed the way i think about electronic music. i found it to be kinda emotional in a way, not like sad but how someone can create such beautiful music with such simple sounds, it just really resonated with me.
but hey maybe thats just me

nice one man

@alc not sure how that's relevant. it's like calling black metal bleak or saying death metal evokes anger or something, completely unrelated to the genre
what?? youre not sure how whats relevant? you wrote up there that last resort evoked "a calming state of despair and loneliness" which it didnt at all. it was calming sure but writing about how bleak or melancholic it was is way off base. was just a relaxin album man, but then i suppose when you dont have much to talk about you gotta make up shit like how an albums covers directly correlates to its subject material
bleak foggy forest on album cover??? ----->> bleak n melancholic albums tones heh thats right i said it
