    Album was a fun album with themes that are not so much. It is great for heartbreak or if you just wanna listen to something fun.

    Motordrome e incrível e um passeio em duas rodas que te leva em lugares extremos e sonoramente incríveis e uma sensação sensorial indescritível e vale uma menção a wheelspin,cool to cry,New moon e a poderosa Live to survive

    The album is so **** great, but Youth is Lost, Hip Bones, New Moon and Punches are true bangers

    The album starts very strong with Kindness and Live to Survive, but it's not quite able to hold onto the heights reached through the first two pieces and falls off a bit. The remaining songs aren't bad by any means, they just aren't quite great either.

The remaining songs aren't bad by any means, they just aren't quite great either.

    The album's pretty melancholy and the songs are for the most part pretty slow, though they remain pretty distinct from each other as far as the songs on the album go, but there's some musical clichés here, in terms of the lyrics and singing style (repeating one word multiple times in a row, for example) and the music itself (for example, some vaporwave elements thrown into the mix because that's cool with the uncool crowd nowadays). If you aren't into slower songs or want some completely original experience, you'll probably be disappointed.

    Still, the album is worth a listen in my opinion. I can definitely think of worse things to subject my ears to for about half an hour.    … Expand

    I felt like this is an album that has the potential but rushed. The album has no overwhelming production and lyrical content.

    It is definitely a stronger album than its predecessor, but a bit too short.

    It's a really good album, but I liked Forever Neverland more. After such good singles as Kindness and Live to survive I expected a little more. I really like the whole aesthetic of this era tho.

    emocionante e objetivo, a mø realmente fechou um ciclo em sua carreira aberta em no mythologies to follow e continuado no forever Neverland, ela se reencontrou mais forte do que nunca.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many of her fans know how much it means to them when they hear a song that reminds them back to MØ’s debut album. This album kind of takes back the production style the debut had, but this time the sound has matured really well. Can’t wait to hear the deluxe version soon!… Expand

    Motordrome is a masterpiece. Hipbones, New Moon and Cool To Cry are the best songs in the album. I love uuu MØ.

    At its best, Motordrome serves as a reminder of why she deserved that success, and why she still deserves attention today.

    In her raw, rollicking delivery, MØ does sound comfortable in her skin again, giving the lyric a genuinely openhearted turn. Motordrome occasionally passes through such exhilarating moments, but faceless production too often spins its wheels, making it seem as though MØ is still in search of a sound to match the bravado.

    Mø’s new-era singles thus far have been earworms – the euphoric Live to Survive, the Ed Sheeran-like Kindness, the more recent electronic ballad Goosebumps. The remainder of Motordrome mostly maintains this hit rate.
