Jun 14, 2017Nostalgic, dramatic and not exactly short on synth, Iteration is the kind of album necessary to help us battle through the rest of 2017.
-
Jun 14, 2017With Iteration, Haley has retained all of the qualities that made Com Truise so appealing while blowing everything up into a higher resolution than before. If this is truly the end of the Com Truise saga, then it's the project's definitive release.
-
Jun 14, 2017For fans of synth-wave instrumentals or for those who want an oft-compelling, free-floating soundtrack to their workday, nobody throws a throwback party like Com Truise.
-
Jun 16, 2017Mostly, Iteration offers only a minor darkening of Haley’s familiar neon-lit moods. It’s a great sound and one always worth returning to, but you’re left wondering how long Haley can keep it up.
-
Jul 10, 2017At times the LP’s nostalgic outlook can be all-consuming, The likes of ‘Memory’ and ‘Vacuume’ do lighten the tone, but it would have been nice to see Haley also tackle darker timbres more often, as he does on ‘Syrthio’ and the title track.
-
Jun 22, 2017Iteration is an honest, oddly humanistic new release from an artist with a glorious keyboard arsenal who knows how to use it.
-
Jun 14, 2017The production is perfection, and if you're in to classic pop musical cliches that defined electronic music in that era, Iteration becomes more of a celebration of nostalgia than perhaps a narrative into something deeper. The trip back is kind of fun, even if it is not directly intended.
-
Jun 26, 2017There are times throughout Iteration when Haley sounds trapped in the same old rut. Overall, though, the album balances between bombast and gestures that are a little harder to read. That contrast gives Iteration a texture that’s missing from previous Com Truise releases.
-
Jun 22, 2017The best thing you can do is let Iteration’s rain-soaked neon lights wash over and see what you feel.

MojoJun 14, 2017A winsome, nostalgic atmosphere. [Jul 2017, p.91]

Jun 19, 2017Only occasionally on a track like "Ternary" does Haley manage to land deeper cuts with a drifting, introspective piece that winds down and starts up again, hinting at dancefloor potential before stepping back at the last moment. It works; there's just not enough of it elsewhere on Iteration.
