As it stands, Transit Transit is a beautifully executed work that would have made the band solid contenders if it had been released back in 1992.
-
Transit Transit, the follow-up to 2004's similarly majestic Future Perfect, doesn't stray from the intended path, offering sonic action painting, narcotic dreamscapes and other manifestations of sonic bliss that you simply cannot divine from any band currently operating.
-
Transit Transit is full of the sort of implausible leaps of imagination that normally only happen in your sleep.
-
With its deft blend of nostalgia and futurism, Transit Transit is not only a fantastic delivery on a forgotten promise, it's the best reason so far to be optimistic about 2016.
-
Where Future Perfect knocked us right off our feet, Transit Transit doesn't seem to have the energy to even push us slightly to the left. We miss 2004's Autolux.
-
Autolux crawls through sophomore album Transit Transit, paring the exquisite agony of rush hour traffic with Lynchian surrealism.
-
Autolux clearly saves its affection for intricacy and sonic margins, but after six years you'd think it'd sound more eager for the spotlight.
-
Transit Transit is a very idea-focused album, with each track a structure whose foundation lies in a very specific sound.
-
This expansion of sound is also put together with the kind of meticulousness that makes Transit Transit doubly compelling.
-
Transit Transit justly follows the digitalized distortion their debut paved, keeping a decidedly drab mood that permeates throughout the entire production.
-
Transit Transit maintains a puzzling lack of urgency for an album so long in the works.
-
Q MagazineAutolux balance droney post-rock and electronics with rare skill. [Sept. 2010, p. 113]
-
The band's wonderfully detached mood seems born of their music's head-bouncing distractibility rather than any pretentious pondering.
-
Transit Transit works like a best-of compilation, assembling the group's better efforts over the last six years while forgoing the mismatched feeling of such collections, a feat only a group as talented as Autolux could handle.
-
UncutAtmospheric post-grunge is the order of the day, but while the likes of "Census" is dynamically tight, the impression is of talented technicians, not great songwriters. [Sep 200, p.83]
-
Under The RadarAutolux's evolution isn't quite complete, but Transit Transit is an album made by a band ready to keep heading down the road. [Summer 2010, p.76]
-
Though adhering to this formula/non-formula, this self-produced long-time-comin' sophomore release relies on an even more augmented eclecticism than their 2004 guitar-driven Future Perfect (not better or worse, just OK Computer to The Bends differences).
