While some of the tracks sound like rough sketches that were simply given a bit more shading, most of Senior captivates as a full-length experience.
-
It can't be said that Senior fails to meet its modest wallpaper-ish aims, yet it hardly represents the best Royksopp has to offer.
-
Oct 27, 2010Maybe it's just its drastic contrast with the chirpy and pop-friendly Junior that makes Senior seem so dreary, but even out of context, Royksopp's latest seems like a poor, thoroughly underdeveloped and, dare I say it, unfinished effort.

Q MagazineThere's still a feeling that the two albums might have worked better as one. [Nov 2010, p.114]
-
It is pleasant, and largely forgettable.
-
It's maybe a little older and a little wiser than Junior but it just isn't anywhere near as much fun.
-
Lack of pop structures be damned, the Norwegian duo have created a freewheeling, pleasant affair--even if we get the feeling we've heard it all before.
-
Dec 21, 2010The patient, thoughtful strokes here are sometimes interesting but rarely exciting.
-
Senior makes a strong claim to be 2010's best electronic album. It's a record to lie back and drown in.
-
Dec 22, 2010While Senior is sometimes reminiscent of Royksopp's stellar 2001 debut Melody A.M., it also feels like a poor man's attempt at an Air record.
