Feb 1, 2013Christopher comes across as so eager to please that parts of the album lack vim where it’s needed, despite the luxuriant polish that’s been spread across all 10 songs.
-
Jan 23, 2013Despite the self-therapy and tonal lulls, Christopher is a highly listenable affair that produces two truly outstanding moments.
-
Jan 31, 2013Christopher is all dreamy lushness with synths that range all the way from zappy to squashy.
-
Jan 28, 2013The song [vapory closing number "Heart Attack"] almost saves Christopher from venturing into annoying self-parody, but it's ultimately unsuccessful due to the uncertainty of its message.

MagnetFeb 11, 2013He mostly sounds like a fish out of water. [No. 95, p.57]
-
Jan 31, 2013The few peaks of Christopher are heavily outweighed by its deep valleys and plodding middle ground, which pass by without so much as a signpost of remembrance.
-
Mar 27, 2013Your willingness to stick with McPhun from here on out depends entirely how much you enjoy listening to music that sounds like a meticulous recreation of 80s dance pop.
