Lost At Sea
I Created Disco is not only the title of Harris' full-length debut, it's also the title of a track on the album that threatens to depose Justice from their perch on high.
Read Full Review >Billboard
I Created Disco feels renegade, and that's what makes it more than irresistibly fun synth-pop.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe
The bulk of the record follows suit, with straightforward club songs, none too obtuse.
Read Full Review >Vibe
His is an intrepid sound, taut and gorgeous. [Oct 2007, p.92]
Stylus Magazine
I Created Disco is a fun and mostly very listenable pop record which satisfies the modest ambitions it sets for itself.
Read Full Review >Urb
Throw in some straight, viscerally melodic vocals and a few cool, smart, electro-pop and digi-funk sing-alongs and you have a classic four-song EP--if not an entire album. [Sep/Oct 2007, p.129]
Blender
This is an indie rocker introducing great disco to a bunch of beer drinkers. [Nov 2007, p.150]
New Musical Express
Harris has distilled all of the synth-popping, amp-busting sounds of electroclash and disco-punk into a complete set of proper pop uppers.
Read Full Review >Dot Music
Calvin Harris does nothing out of the ordinary, but still, he does it well.
Read Full Review >All Music Guide
Harris doesn't need to sing--his electronic noises from the keyboard are quite sufficient.
Read Full Review >Under The Radar
Good times are to be had, but don't go looking for anything deep. [Summer 2007, p.90]
Prefix Magazine
Harris's frivolous humor loses its charm when the music falls flat.
Read Full Review >Playlouder
The problem is that I Created Disco goes on for nearly an hour and barely changes tack once.
Read Full Review >PopMatters
Overall I Created Disco is just a pretty confection, good for transient enjoyment at best.
Read Full Review >Pitchfork
Harris reduces pop's limitless possibilities to one-joke self-parody, his youth his most distinguishing characteristic, an unremembered yesterday always more vibrant than today.
Read Full Review >Drowned In Sound
Leave this to collect dust in the bargain bin. Or, better still, the bins out the back of HMV.
