    Hiperasia offers a vivid, feverish soundworld of Auto-Tuned vocals, idyllic electronics and machine beats solid enough to stand alongside the best US R&B currently has to offer. [Apr 2016, p.60]

    Anyone who was into previous El Guincho albums will be satisfied by the new direction he's taken, and who knows, some R&B fans with an adventurous nature may even find his sound to be something worth checking out.

    It’s not a shift that feels like a cheap grab to keep up with changing times, but rather a confident statement from an artist who had utilized the chance to grow on his own terms and craft his strongest work to date.

    The resulting album, the most resolutely electronic work he's done yet, buzzes like an ice-cream headache.

    Hiperasia might be a less accessible album, but it’s Díaz-Reixa at his most experimental and inventive.

    Frustratingly, the tricksy production and Auto-Tuned vocals of the fragmented second-half tend to overwhelm the songs rather than enhance them. [Mar 2016, p.109]

    Hiperasia is an incoherent mess, sure, but a fun one, too, splattering all kinds of disparate, colorful sounds in the hopes that some of it will stick.
