TylerDJan 6, 2007M83's Before the Dawn Heals Us is, in a nutshell, brilliant. I haven't heard Dead Cities and I already love the band. I'm really looking forward to hearing more. But for now, Before the Dawn Heals Us is filling my M83-hearing need just fine. One of the greatest albums I've ever heard.

teds.Jan 23, 2005An awesome mix of shoegaze and space rock. Best electronic music ever since Air's 10.000 Hz Legend.

PinkRockJan 28, 2005The inclusion of vocals and live instruments on this release takes M83 to the next level. M83 have grown leaps and bounds in comparison to their first release, M83, in 2002. If "Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts" was their "Soft Bulletin", then "Before the Dawn Heals Us" is their "Yoshimi". Simply wonderous and amazing.

Jun 25, 2023It has some great and unique tracks, however the middle of the album was such a dead spot to me.

tomJan 28, 2005I personally can't seem to give the credit to them. They are so heavily influenced by My Bloody Valentine that it would be quite unfair to praise them for just taking other's ideas to electronics and releasing it. Sorry, it's either hook or crook and I must say this is the latter of the two.

For all its reference points, it's a remarkable and original record.

Entertainment Weekly[A] sublime soundtrack to dancing in the moonlight. [21 Jan 2005, p.88]

For every breathtaking melodic rush like Don't Save Us From the Flames, with its guitars whizzing and whooshing like fireworks, there is a piece of portentous tosh like Moonchild, which calls to mind Spinal Tap and a scale model of Stonehenge.
