Jan 18, 2011Gillis's vision becomes less orgiastic and more humanistic.
-
Dec 14, 2010Sublime production quality and danceability aside, this mix scores as a chronicle of American pop music that elicits a dual layer of nostalgia: the first for the sampled songs themselves, the second for the thrill of the novelty of early mash-ups.
-
Feb 15, 2011All Day offers a departure of sorts from Night Ripper and Feed the Animals, his previous releases. The composition of those two essentially follow the same furious blueprint, whereas All Day allows the musical ideas a bit more time to breathe and evolve.
-
Dec 21, 2010All Day is just a refinement of Gillis' technique. The samples are somehow more karaoke-machine-universal than ever.
-
Dec 14, 2010All Day provides the soundtrack to the ultimate dance party, urging us to scream out the songs we know and to just have fun. It's nothing new for Girl Talk, really, but then again, what is?
-
Dec 14, 2010Against those odds, Gillis turns these perceived weaknesses into strengths; as his most fussed-over and carefully plotted album, All Day paradoxically sounds like his most effortless.
-
Jan 13, 2011Those who weren't sold on Gillis' act before aren't going to change their minds, but his records are consistently great, and All Day is no exception.
-
Dec 21, 2010The real enjoyment of any Girl Talk album stems from picking out the first hint of a song, mentally scanning your iTunes and figuring out what it is in time to fully enjoy it before it's gone. Or, you could also just stop thinking and enjoy all of it.
-
Dec 17, 2010For the uninitiated though, this is essential listening for any member of the iTunes set; crafting your next playlist will likely turn into a transcendental experience after you hear how uncannily Drake goes along with Flock of Seagulls.
-
Dec 14, 2010All Day is Girl Talk's cleanest album in that sense. Pitch disagreements are virtually non-existent, and save for one ill-advised Creep mash-up, it's as close to perfect as he can possibly get.
-
Dec 17, 2010He always finds weird new emotional nuances in the samples.
-
Dec 14, 2010All Day is too playful to be considered mature, but for the first time it feels like a consistent album and there are definite signs of Girl Talk maturing as an artist. Above all, it's a whole lot of fun.
-
Dec 14, 2010Depending on your susceptibility to this cut-and-paste style (and probably your age), it could be either the best thing, or the worst, you've heard all year.
