    [Until Now] delivers a perfectly serviceable hi-hat frenzy. [26 Oct 2012, p.75]

    There's little here that suggests Swedish House Mafia is more than the sum of its parts, and as Axwell, Angello, and Ingrosso split into three equally powered powerhouses, it seems this supergroup was more a fun lark than a focused project. Still, it's as fun as larks come.

    For Swedish House Mafia fans, Until Now is exactly what they wanted out of the trio.

    It sounds more like a beginning than an end.

    Unashamedly one-dimensional, this mix will continue to divide.

    Each and every track is subservient to a formula which demands a whistling filter sweep, a rattling, super-hyped snare roll and the inevitable canyon-deep drop before it all goes nuts. [Dec 2012, p.113]

    Until Now never quite shakes the feeling of being a little gratuitous--a few euphoric gems aside, there isn't enough creative spark on the record to justify its existence, and listening to it feels about as useful as attending a Swedes gig without the live atmosphere.

    All are subjected to the same heavy hand on the tiller: beats are stonkingly four-to-the-floor, singers wail, breakdowns shudder.

    Until Now is best experienced with your critical faculties compromised.

    Very good album. It has a lot of fantastic songs and also it has many collaborations with other artists (like coldplay, pendulum). Also it hasVery good album. It has a lot of fantastic songs and also it has many collaborations with other artists (like coldplay, pendulum). Also it has many songs. One problem could be that it is quite repetitive and you get bored after listening to it for more time. Full Review »

'Swedish house mafia' lo ha vuelto a hacer. Son los reyes de la electrónica y de los set en directo, es una realidad. Ojalá se vuelvan a reunir como grupo... Pero para eso habrá que seguir soñando. Los mashup están perfectos tanto en tiempos como en sonidos que encajan a la perfección. Si 'Until One' era bueno este es mucho mejor.

    Larga vida a la SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA.
