    Woodkid wishes he were Sufjan Stevens but the result merely sounds like a pompous, pedantic and repetitive soundtrack. Why is this artist praised so much in his home country?

    True, he sometimes overdoes the theatrical flourishes, but high drama is what this record is all about, so he can be forgiven for that. [Jun 2013, p.108]

    The Golden Age often tries to accomplish more than it’s capable of.

    While impressive in their cinematic scope they can feel a touch superfluous. .[May 2013, p.96]
