    Aerotropolis manages to navigate its concept without being crushed by the weight of it, and is a thoroughly enjoyable LP that--perhaps like Ikonika herself--will only mature with time.

    It’s a poised, carefully executed balance that captures Ikonika in an intriguing period of transition.

    The end result is immensely listenable, and so goddamn fun.

    It’s frequently funky and witty, the production and melodies burn themselves onto your memory, and while occasionally it’s more impressive than lovable, you can’t argue with its clarity of vision.

    For the most part, it's simply a pleasure to sit back and plug in.

    The album tends toward generic, blocky sci-fi-tronic. [Sep 2013, p.90]

    Even though the evidence isn’t excessively rife on Aerotropolis, it’s clear that somewhere under the shiny, retrogressive hedonism and 4/4 decadence, there’s a voice trying to escape the easy confines it has found for itself.
