Absolutely stunning. M83 hasn't sounded this good since 2011's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, and this is arguably even lusher and more breathtaking. A true return to form and a certain contender for the best album in their discography.

album title is an obvious reference to the frankly astronomical levels of imagination and projection the dedicated listener is required to put in for this vapid collection of gaseous overproduced nothing-songs to sound remotely captivating
and the sheer cruelty behind this has strong potential to be the only non-vanilla thing m83 has ever done

M83's starry-eyed bombast has finally finished wearing off and I am left utterly unimpressed with the onslaught of over-produced synths masquerading as song-writing.

The long-standing French band seems to come back to what really made them blow up with progressive electronics dipped in that sweet synthpop style and post-rock guitar works. In many ways, because of this, it is a solid little record that will definitely put you into a vibe. However, the album is overly long and I do prefer the small bits of experimentation on tracks like ?Fantasy?, ?Kool Nut?, and even ?Oceans Niagara?. I see why the band on their last album turned more towards instrumental music, but they never really did it well. These tracks showcase a better representation of progressive electronic and Indietronica/post-rock that feels fresh. Hoping for the band to really branch into new heights after this record.
