    By the end of the year, expect Harris' star to steadily rise as 18 Months continues to devour the calendar-and the universe.

    18 Months shows Harris to be a solid producer with an easily identifiable sound.

    This album feels more like a deserved victory lap than a forward step or a new instalment, but apart from his sole vocal on 'Feel So Close', the victor seems oddly absent.

    18 Months has all the makings of a smash hit, but if you're looking for substance, you're better off looking elsewhere.

    This music is rather competently made, but 90% of the music is uninspired. This music was 100% made for the lowest common denominator listener, especially drunk college students. Considering the amount of talented singers on this album, they add almost nothing to the tracks which are inherently stiff and uninteresting music, with the levels to everything turned all the way up. The songs on this album have no appeal other than being really loud and regular, so that if you are trying to dance when drunk, you are likely to be able to dance on beat. This music is basically background music turned up really loud.… Expand
