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

    Easily Calvin's best album. Every track sounds very unique. It also has a sweet retro vibe using a lot of old game sound effects in songs. Standouts on the album include The Rain, Blue and the title track Ready for the Weekend. A must own!

    I was really happy that I bought this album! I cant think of a bad track I heard on Ready For The Weekend! Calvin Harris's best album in my opinion. Best tracks in my opinion: The Rain, Ready For The Weekend, I'm Not Alone

  1. It's also terrific fun, though so lightweight you might want to weigh your stereo down with bricks before pressing play.
  2. 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.
  3. The populist music-for-the-people philosophy embodied at the core of Harris’ anthem-heavy new record--which is basically the aural distillation of his hedonistic yet geeky everyman persona--is something to be cherished right now.
