    As said, the songs benefit from being taken out of context and as much as that leads to just picking and choosing the moments worth going back for, the process of listening to the EP as a whole can almost be disheartening as much as it is unrewarding.

    Unless you really enjoy music in commercials, you should avoid this disc.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Descriptors are hardly necessary for any of these songs because they're all a stone's toss from one another in pretty much every respect.

    They start off well, though, with a trio of solid tracks.... The remaining tracks on the album are equally inoffensive, but they don't have the same half-minded unassuming appeal to help them glide along, and too often there's one too many head-in-your-hands cheesy lines thrown in.

    Detractors have long said that Harris’ music is tailor made for background summer playlists you can ignore – listening to this project, it’s hard to disagree.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    She enlists help from guest artists and DJs to encapsulate the past six years – but there’s no innovation or originality.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With a collection of songs largely indistinguishable from one another, this album exemplifies the struggle up-and-coming rappers currently face.
    • 57 Metascore

    Lasers is more an indictment of the state of mainstream rap than anything. This is the absolute worst-case scenario of what can happen when commerce is placed above art, and in this instance it's especially offensive because Lupe is someone who doesn't need to bend over backward to be accessible.

    Unfortunately it's largely downhill from here [after opener "Silence"].

    As compelling as their musicianship may be conceptually, it rarely goes the distance on Remembrance of Things to Come.
