    Ultimately, World Wide Pop works best in small doses. Still, Superorganism’s displays of creativity and personality are admirable and will get them farther than most in modern indie pop.

    While the highs on the album are high, the lows are apparent and hard to ignore. There is a battle between the band’s influences and their own vision for their sound which leaves them with a batch of great ideas that weren’t executed to their full potential.

    I thought that the singles were great, even though I felt like they relied on their features way too much. I see a lot of critics giving this album mixed reviews (50s), and while I agree that the tracks on this album that aren't very good are quite repulsive at times, I don't believe that this record is bad nonetheless.

    The highlights on this record were great, such as the singles and "Don't let the colony collapse". I can even notice (and clearly hear) some Avalanches influences in there, going as far as re-using the same samples from their 2020 record "We Will Always Love You"    … Full Review »
