    Considering the combination of such talents, it's a wonder that LSD is so good and so fun. While it might be too relentless for some, it's an experience to embrace and enjoy.

    LSD sound like an algorithmic midden of pop music. ... More than anything, this album is both tired and wired, like drinking Red Bull after a fifth Red Bull.

    What’s remarkable is how smoothly they work together, and how much genuine pleasure the three seem to take in this collaboration.

    The album's mix of tropical vibes and experimental hooks give LSD a pleasant, lush, varied landscape of tones and tempos.

    If it’s a collection of tried-and-tested bangers you’re after, showcasing three pop powerhouses at their proven best, then crack on. In search of a left-field album of crate-digging curveballs? You’re best looking elsewhere.

    While the songs aren’t top-shelf Sia, for a session that comes across more like an arcade game than a coherent album, that’s fine.

    LSD underwhelms, even if you accept that three of the world’s most interesting musicians would always struggle to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

    LSD portrays the perfect match between three talented artists. The album is psychedelic, ecstatic, cheerful and very well planned. TheLSD portrays the perfect match between three talented artists. The album is psychedelic, ecstatic, cheerful and very well planned. The productions of Diplo are very technical and bring a novelty air, while the super vocals of Sia and Labrinth refer us to true powerful vocalists and even addictive. It's amazing. It's dancing. Its addicting. It's LSD.… Full Review »

Here Diplo, Labrinth & Sia demonstrate they are still essential pieces of music industry. The production simplicity is the key (we might be used to the very "over-produced" tracks, with new strange sounds) because LSD had as aim to stand out the lyrics and the voices, important part of all the content.
