The Roundtable: M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
Here's what the reviewers had to say about 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming' by M83. Agree? Disagree? Discuss.:
"[T]he interludes here are intended to be every bit as purposeful as the singles: The shorter the track, the more evocative its title ("Where the Boats Go", "Train to Pluton", "Another Wave From You"). While many of them stand as intriguing meditations on their own merits, they reinforce Hurry Up's intentions to be an immersive universe-- check in whenever you want, but the magic's in the exploratory phases." - Pitchfork
"It sounds like a soundtrack for the end of the world, or the birth of new worlds." - The Independent
"[A]n album full of hidden pleasures." - NME
"Sound the pretentiousness alarm!" - The Fly
"[T]he sheer volume of tracks makes Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming a potentially daunting prospect." - BBC Music
"The new M83 album is kinda boring and pretentious." - Hipster Runoff
"[T]he road-movie rush of highlights of 'Midnight City' is hard to beat." - The Guardian
"It should see Anthony’s daft road name alias motor into the charts at last." - The Daily Star
"There’s not a single weak track on Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, but it still feels like a small step backward from [Saturdays=Youth]." - Stereogum
"It shows an artist at the top of his songwriting game, but perhaps without the thick and palatable sense of cohesion definitive and prevalent on past releases." - One Thirty BPM
