M83 Hurry Up, We're Dreaming3.0
At least, that's what it sounds like first time around. Too simplistic with some great moments. Of course, being a double album it deserves more careful listens.

I've just heard it once and it hasn't grabbed me much. I 'll listen to this a few more times before rating it. I HOPE I like it more than Mirrored.

Can't connect to this record AT ALL.rTo me it comes across as strained, self-conscious, repetitive and empty.
