Jul 24, 2015A well rounded album which slides in under the radar only to later announce itself with its numerous nuances. Some tracks like Nightclub Amnesia swell and subside with expert pacing while others float by despite their mesmerizing depth. Ratatat remains king of a genre they invented but it's going to take a couple listens through before you're willing to bow down (again).

Aug 21, 2015Ratatat are great and this album is totally them in fine form. This is my skateboarding album of the year. Very energetic and fresh, I feel like a badass listening to it, it makes my head bob.

Jun 8, 2016Despite this album doesn’t show any surprise, it achieve its goal.
Its fresh, catchy and pretty well produced. Abrasive is a highlight.
*Best intro of all time tho. -
Jul 20, 2015I found this album fresh, catchy and very well produced. you can hear the influence from Daft Punk sometimes but this album took me back to their first album. Rome is for me the best tune.

MagnetAug 12, 2015Overly busy.... They're best when they act just like Ratatat. [No. 123, p.58]

Aug 3, 2015It’s unlikely there was any desperate clamour for a new Ratatat album during the duo’s prolonged absence from the scene. Nevertheless, Magnifique is a nice reminder of the band’s command of their tiny, unfashionable corner of the music world.

Q MagazineJul 30, 2015Opting to name your album Magnifique certainly suggests a renewed confidence and the music here largely supports that. [Sep 2015, p.115]
