Jun 25, 2023It was certainly a beautiful album all around, it just unfortunately seemed very repetitive and started to get a little boring.

JerradHAug 1, 2004I like the quality and the instrumentation, but the melodies sound very flat and uninspired, and after a few listens, it all sounds very plain and blah. There's just not enough musical variation, and too many of the instruements play the exact same note throughout each song.

Although at times M83 evoke Jean-Michel Jarre or Air, this is far from being an album of Franco-synth by numbers; it is the layered, hypertextual futurism of My Bloody Valentine and Brian Eno which seeps through the electronic Gallic gauze as the most palpable influences.

In Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, M83 have created an ethereal electronic masterpiece, and one which, thankfully, doesn't sound like a relic from the Warp Records back catalogue.

Simply put, this album sounds absolutely huge, its relentless attention to detail eclipsed only by the stunning emotional power it conveys.
