    Another example of Metacritic's odd weighted means. An album which is game changing for EDM and getting critically acclaimed and Metacritic's score is 72? I had to make an account to try to off balance that. This is an amazing diverse album that reveals it's layers in repeated listens. There is a narrative that runs through it and it's amazing to see how even minimal music can reveal complex design. It will be interesting to see how this score changes as more reviews come in… Expand

    It is different...i will give it that but unfortunately not for the better. Its meandering but goes nowhere. Its sigur ros without the brilliant music. I wanted so to like it but there is nothing there.

    It's the sound of a DJ just getting started after everyone's gone home.

    R.I.P. is at its most basic a beautiful electronic album, as rewarding as it is challenging.

    He's gone several steps further away from standard dance structure and into abstraction and ambience here – and it's all the better for it.
