Sep 18, 201380Don’t see True as the album in which dance music imports the sounds of the American heartland into the club in hopes of digging up new audiences, or even new ideas; see it as the one in which country takes its place front and center in global pop.

Sep 17, 201380While EDM grapples with growing pains, beset by adult problems like drugs and money, Avicii has made an album with the kind of pure pop heart that's as likely to appeal to eight-year-olds as it is to amped-up ravers.
-
Sep 17, 201375Avicii's genre-hacking whimsy may seem decadent or oblivious. But it's undeniably optimistic--inspiring, even.
-
Sep 17, 201370All of this proves that Avicii's new sound is much more than a page from Moby's Play book.
-
Sep 27, 201370True is an album that takes one type of music and moulds it into something completely different, allowing Avicii to cement himself as one of the best DJs in the world.
-
Sep 17, 201360In the end, it's an admirable and interesting effort where the highs offset the lows, but those with molly in hand and dancing shoes on feet should just cool their jets and get ready to sit a spell.
-
Sep 18, 201310No one demonstrates the artist-as-cash-machine ethos better, as the mechanical churn of commerce rings loudly on each and every track.
