    OMG where do i start. this has to be the most boring and worst album made as far as EDm/pop is concerned. There is literally nothing in this album that hasn't been heard before. All the songs follow the same formula and are literally all the same thing with the same drops and the same sound. What makes this worse for me is the fact that David Guetta had the guts to say he focused more onOMG where do i start. this has to be the most boring and worst album made as far as EDm/pop is concerned. There is literally nothing in this album that hasn't been heard before. All the songs follow the same formula and are literally all the same thing with the same drops and the same sound. What makes this worse for me is the fact that David Guetta had the guts to say he focused more on songwriting and was coming out with a new sound. **** please. this is the same boring EDM formula every so-called DJ uses. At least Calvin Harris had the decency to not hype his album knowing he was making some more formulaic crap. This album deserves a nice zero for wasting my time and everyone else's but I'll give it a one just because i actually liked one of the songs.
    NB: This album is literally the first album in which Sia has a song I don't like. You went and broke Sia's perfect streak with this horsecrap. Well done.    … Expand

    After huge disappointment of Motion by Calvin Harris, another highly anticipated album by famous French DJ David Guetta made a debut. Lead by single Dangerous featuring Sam Smith, the album failed to impress audience unlike his previous works. There is nothing special to enjoy every single beat of the tracks and the whole album just go wrong. A very bad year for EDM albums.

    Agreed completely with the negative reviews. One of the biggest letdowns this year in the genre of electronic dance music. At least Motion was slightly better than this.

    The songwriting remains basic, as always, and vocalist Sam Martin blandly belts "Lovers on the Sun" and the club hit "Dangerous." But the album sounds consistently great.

    Each song still has the inevitable moment of electronic ascent but, as with Coldplay's Recent break-up record, you can';t help but wonder how these songs might've sounded left raw and unslickened. [Jan 2015, p.133]

    He seems like a featured artist on his own album, which would be standard issue for other producers turned artist, but not Guetta.
