Mar 11, 2015The combination of pop and EDM is nothing new, but rarely has it felt quite so enjoyable as it does here.
-
Mar 6, 2015There's no instantaneous party classics on Jack Ü – no worthy successors to "Turn Down for What" despite its obvious influence, but maybe a "Bubble Butt" or a "Big Bad Wolf." As a guileless continuation of the escapist, dub-tinged blowout that Diplo effortlessly pursued with Major Lazer, it's one of the beatiest prizes of the year so far.
-
Mar 6, 2015Yet although much of it coasts along on autopilot, it can be outrageously good fun.
-
Mar 6, 2015Lesser guests are occasionally lost amid the restless drums and ricocheting synths. For listeners, though, getting lost in these tracks is half the fun.
-
Mar 6, 2015While Jack Ü doesn't exactly roll the ball forward, or do much else to make listeners rethink the principal actors here, it's dumb, loud fun from two architects of the dumbest, loudest fun of the 2000s.

Mar 6, 2015There are moments of interest on every song--the undulating vocal riff and little sonic pops that pepper Mind, for example--but nothing coalesces quite as well as Take Ü There. Unfortunately when the songs don’t work, the formula becomes so glaringly obvious.
-
Mar 9, 2015Generally speaking, the Jack Ü project is fully functional party music that hedges its bets with collaborations and does little in the way of genuine innovation.
