M83 is a French new wave shoe gaze wave band that writes 'epic jams' that sound as vibey as authentic jams from the past, so they have made a career out of 'replicating' pre-existing aesthetics, rebranding them as modern, building a context where the audience is forced to evaluate their work based on feelings & emotions, and every1 likes them. You have to give them props for their brand, but they should still probably strive for a bit more mainstream success. ANyways, they got a 9.1 on Pitchfork, which means that they 'might be a frontrunner for album of the year'.

Do u like the new album, or is it 'more of the same'?
Does it inspire u and make u 'feel hope'?
Do u want 2 hurry up and dream?
Is M83 authentic, or do they just 'exploit' nostalgic feelings in a more direct way than chillwave?
ARe they 'innovative' or do they just 'rip off' other sounds/genres?

It really seems like this review was a 'massive spoogefest.' Feels like the Lord Savior Jesus Christ inhabited AnGo's (aka Anthony Gonzalez's) body 2 make this album.

This sounds like the most flattering paragraph ever written abt a band. Must be the album of the year.

Well, throughout the past decade, the 30-year old Gonzalez has honored the tremendous impact of growing up during the golden age of CD buying by implicitly serving as a patron saint for those who treat the weekly trip to the record store as a pilgrimage and still covet the album as a physical proposition: His output always comes stylishly packaged, with cover art worth obsessing over and credits that need to be scoured in order to spot the guest appearances. Unsurprisingly, he ups the ante here by aspiring to what is still the paradigm of artistic permanence, both in terms of legacy and tactility: the double album, that occasionally ambitious, usually decadent, and almost always fascinatingly flawed endeavor of musicians convinced (rightfully or otherwise) that they're at the peak of their own powers. Hurry Up, We're Dreaming might be all of those things, but above all else, it's the best M83 record yet.

Anthony Gonzalez no longer hides behind grappy murmur singing.

But the most crucial change is how touring with the likes of Depeche Mode has inspired a newfound showmanship in his vocals: Previously, Gonzalez enlisted outside help, piped in plot-advancing narratives, or sang in a low, tentative murmur that submitted to its massive surroundings.

I could be convinced that this is the greatest album ever based on this review.

Few artists make more ingenious use of the sheer physics of rock to this extent-- defining which synth pads strike which emotional pressure points, using percussion as explosives rather than mere elements of timekeeping, coiling the tension of a verse to make every chorus feel phenomenally cathartic even without any words.

This album will make ur life better. NEVER GIVE UP ON UR DREAMS. NEVER GIVE UP [via hurry up {via dream}]

Surely, but Gonzalez never comes off like he's selling a brand, a lifestyle, or even himself-- his lyrics remain as opaque as ever. Hurry Up instead serves as a framework to realize the marvelous capability of our dreams and daily lives, should we be open to experiencing it.
