    Ørsted’s debut LP wears its history heavily, composed of equal parts previously released and new material. It is a risk for an artist as dependent on earworm shock value as Ørsted, but a deliberate one that yield dividends at the end of the day.

    No Mythologies To Follow is a solid record, one that features a slightly older and more thoughtful MØ. It should make any fan of pop music look forward to what’s to come next from this gifted artist.

    MØ’s debut LP is an exquisite collection of synthpop, dance and gushing, heartfelt emotions.

    No Mythologies to Follow is perhaps better taken as a really strong collection of singles (or potential singles) than a complete body of work, but that’s its only real weakness.

    Impulsive, instinctive and infectious, the eccentric and emotional Ørsted walks an enchanting tightrope.

    What she lacks in originality, she makes up for with warlike ardour.

No Mythologies to Follow's a screen of freedom in this world of the same. A breath of originality using these references without being tiring or equal the other.
    The tracks to be heard more carefully are Fire Rides, Red in the Grey, Walk this Way, Dust Is Gone and Slow Love.    … Collapse

"No Mythologies To Follow" é uma perfeita festa solta sem um tema definido que funciona em total sintonia. Faixas como "Fire Rides" e "The Sea" demonstram um certo poder, sendo a composição frenética e viciante.… Expand

No Mythologies to Follow shows why MØ is unique, her voice and compositions are excellent, all tracks were really well produced, except for Walk this Way, despite being a good song. Anyway, this is a very expressive and original album, and it deserves a good rating.

I have to say that I'm not disappointed at all, but I have to also say that I was expecting a bit more. Yeah, some tracks are beyond amazing and work so well, but the union and solidity that an album should have as a whole is someway is lacking. Anyway, an artist of these dimensions and flexibility couldn't be left aside or underrated. It's a great work that's definitely worth a try.… Expand
