Five time turntablists world champions, this Nantais collective (m/) broke into the mainstream with this mostly fun, at times irritating album. Main single "Down the Road" was an absolute tidal wave in 2012 - even my parents know that one - and unfortunately makes you hope that the rest of the record contains the same quality material. Turns out it does at time, but too many forgettable cuts in the middle part make Tetra drag for too long. That's the problem when your style - a mix of electro swing, french house, and hip hop beats - is meant to create singles: all tracks gotta be bombastic bangers if you wanna retain the listener's attention. And if they all are, make sure that the album is short enough to not overwhelm the listener. I exaggerate these problems' importance tho lol
