    On the strength of his recent chart performances, Harris is currently riding a crest of a wave, so he's clearly doing something right. But it feels like he's sacrificed some of his creativity in favour of simplistic and unimaginative output.

    When Ready for the Weekend is over, it vanishes, leaving no discernable trace: like the music that inspired it, it's as if it never happened.

    Ultimately, this is one party you might want to sit out. [Fall 2009, p.74]

    Still a classic. It has defined a new genre for electropop music during the 2010's. It's Calvin's best album.
