80Oye's single-minded thematic focus and velveteen baritone hold everything together. [#14, p.142]
-
Save for the unfortunate hip-hop slip-up of "Prego Amore," this is an excellent set of mellow electronic pop.
-
80Unrest follows a clean electronic trajectory, which manages to project both urban complexity and domestic quiet, while Oye's free-associative lyrics meander amiably here, there and nowhere. [Mar 2003, p.109]
-
79Despite sagging a bit in the middle, Unrest skillfully skirts the myriad ways this kind of variety project could go wrong.
-
70Despite the unconventional approach, it's definitely an album.
-
White it's Oye's endearing melancholy that holds Unrest together, the Human League synth sounds are what give the disc its quietly indulgent charm. [Feb 2003, p.72]
-
70Much like KOC's albums, which tend to fade into the background as sonic wallpaper, the IKEA-sterile mood of "Unrest" does grow less distinctive by disc's end.
-
Dispensable, and far from groundbreaking.
