Mar 20, 2023I actually detest a large chunk of this album but I'm giving it a 4 because it does have some great songs, mainly at the start and end of the album.
-
Nov 25, 2022M83's 2011 album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, is a brilliant piece of work that not only showcases Anthony Gonzalez's brilliant mind, but also crafts a wonderful spiritual and sentimental feeling. A feeling you don't usually feel when listening to modern music.
-
Nov 13, 2021This album is just perfect, each sound complements each other very well and each song has a different atmosphere but that doesn't take the album out of context and probably Midnight City has one of the best sax solos of all time.
-
Apr 29, 2020Great album. A bit disappointed that the other albums didn’t raise to the same mark.
-
Sep 28, 2019Um excelente álbum com faixas maravilhosas que te transportam para outro mundo. Com certeza a obra-prima do M83 e um dos melhores álbuns de música eletrônica da atualidade.
-
Aug 21, 2019Near perfect. The only problem is the predictability of some of the short, sub 2 minute songs especially in the first half. Otherwise phenomenal.
-
Mar 1, 2019It's like a journey to the world that fulfills with dreams and imaginations. But through music way.

Nov 28, 2017One Word; Masterpiece, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is an articulated album that far exceeds any sort of exception, raises the bar so high with its level of production, almost Timeless to say the least, brilliant work of Art.
-
Jun 4, 2017This album, to me, was the best album that the group had made so far. I totally loved all of the tracks, including the killer tracks: "Steve McQueen", "Midnight City", "Raconte-Moi Une Histoire", "Reunion" and "Wait".

Oct 11, 2016This album changed my life - this is, in my opinion, what music should be like. Every song is incredible in its own right - Klaus I Love You is one of the most underrated songs on the album. Say what you like, but Anthony Gonzalez is a genius.
-
Dec 30, 2015The reason this album has polarizing reviews from critics is because it sounds like an amalgamation of M83's previous albums.However this is untrue and the album remains fresh and evergreen as ever that too being a double album. One of my favourite album's of all time and M83's best album IMO.
Standout tracks: Midnight City,Claudia Lewis,Outro .... -

Feb 26, 2014A masterfully accessible, high-concept electronic pop album that is seemingly bursting out of the seams with bangs and whimpers alike. M83 has refined his greatest assets even further.
-
Feb 17, 2014This 2 Disc Album is beautifully crafted and presents a masterful sound. The sound is reminiscent of 80's synth and is very dreamy. I loved every song on the album and would highly suggest it.
-
Nov 24, 2013Gonzalez composes his "magnum opus". 22 absolutely brilliant, soundtrack-to-my-life songs, tastefully executing a number of genres that fill the midst of the Venn diagram.
-
Nov 4, 2013It's seriously really hard to find a bad track on this. Definitely M83's best work, and possibly even one of the best dream-pop/shoegaze records in it's own right, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" is an astonishing, near-perfect masterpiece that celebrates youthful imagination and spirit. It's also RIDICULOUSLY catchy at times.

Nov 21, 2012It's an occasionally warm, nostalgic collection of songs. While you're there it's great, but once you start looking forward again you forget all of it, save for a gorgeous opener and closer along with the successful, killer single.
-
Sep 29, 2012Probably the best electronic band around today. "Midnight City" and "Steve Mcqueen" are mindblowing tracks.The modern synths and the 80s atmosphere create a dreamy mood. It's an amazing album.
-
Aug 23, 2012Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is a 2 disc collection of pure epicness and bliss we don't usually get in the top 40 nowadays and that's a good thing. The standouts include Midnight City, Reunion, Steve McQueen & OK Pal. Overall, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is an amazing experience and will keep the listener coming back for more of M83's material.
-
Jun 18, 2012Best album I've heard since Radiohead's 2007 record "In Rainbows". I'm not usually a fan of such heavy electronic music, but this album absolutely blew me away. That's saying a lot, and yes, "Raconte-moi Une Histoire" is awesome.
-
Jun 3, 2012This is both his most ambitious and his most disciplined album. Past albums were very enjoyable, but sometimes lacked focus, depth, and variety. Consider all those problems solved this time. Warmth, humility, and unfairly addictive beats burst from almost every song.
-
Apr 26, 2012This is the first album I bought completely since probably the 90s. I usually nitpick an album based on 15 second previews... this one, I just bought it all.
Some songs I didn't care for, but after listening again and again, they became my favorites. Great album, probably one of the best albums I've heard in years. -
Feb 25, 2012Best album of M83 I've heard, second album of the year for my soul. All musics come deeper in our bodies, and makes us cry by their beauty..
Frenchies prooves us how damn good they are to write songs, to give us feelings about music.. -
Dec 22, 2011See, there is the number of time you will play a song. And, only for a few albums per decade can you manage to get those kind of heavy stats THAT fast.
On an entire album.
Hooked, like never before by this "band" that hooked me up so good already.
The only drug I'll allow is also the most gentle & epic one.
Merci les mecs. -
Nov 17, 2011One of my favorite double albums of all time, and one of the best albums of the year. The critic score is far too low, and I'm very surprised. M83 is becoming the band I've always wanted them to be.
-
Nov 16, 2011This is M83â
-
Nov 12, 2011Thanks god there are two Cd's, you will never be depressed ending the first! This Album is an extraordinary craft that made me believe again in electronic indie-pop abilities to excite. Every time when you feel like getting closer to the "being bored spot" you get a new track, a music bomb, exploding into your ears.
-
Oct 28, 2011This is, by far, the best and most accessible album by M83 yet. I have listened to this album nonstop since it has been released. It is beautiful, catchy, and memorable. I highly recommend it!
-
Oct 25, 2011I was blown away to the lush Midnight City and I'm let down by the rest of the double album. There's a heavy tongue-in-cheek element to the 80s this-could-be-a-John-Hughes-movie schtick, but quite a few of these tracks are ho-hum.. All the same, a point for every track I really dig.â
-
Oct 24, 2011While songs like Midnight City and Year One, One UFO are instant grabbers, the rest of the album doesn't have much going on that Anthony Gonzalez hasn't already done. It's still a good album, but some of the tracks have too much shoegazing and not enough of the angsty-ness that made the last two albums classics.

Oct 22, 2011Amazing to see what M83 has grown into. A strong double album sounding like this I don't think could have been predicted when Dead Cities came out... There's some really great stuff here & will likely make lots of year end best lists as well as expand his fanbase. The "melancolia" does kinda drag things a bit but good no less.
-
Oct 20, 2011What M83 have created here is, literally, from another planet. In 22 songs, Gonzalez manages to create the perfect balance between consistency and variety, between melancholia and sudden interstellar bursts of energy.
-
Oct 19, 2011This album completely blew me away, every song is beautifully crafted, and it's 2 CD's! This will always be in my car's glove compartment. Fantastic!

Jan 3, 2012Gonzalez paints broad strokes on this vast musical landscape, and although a wee long, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming may be his conceptual masterpiece.

MojoDec 22, 2011The trade-off for this grandiloquent approach is that some of the songcraft has been swept away in the surge. [Nov 2011, p.93]

Entertainment WeeklyNov 15, 2011Gonzalez wraps both hooks and hallucinations in bubbly melodies only occasionally bogged down by murky sprawl. [28 Oct 2011, p.73]
