    Maybe the blandest, most uncreative album I've listened for the past year or so. Absolutely boring and a chore to get through. Only stand out song was "All My Life", and maybe Charlie Houston's singing. Other than that it is more like a student project than something I would expect from Odesza.

    Solid album that goes back to ODESZA's roots whilst incorporating new additions to their signature sound.

    This album was a huge letdown, especially in comparison to A Moment Apart, which is my favorite album of all time. It didn't feel like it had that Odesza touch that I really loved in A Moment Apart, and even in albums before that. It feels like Odesza listened to the criticism they received from music critics on their last album, which they should never have done.

It feels like Odesza listened to the criticism they received from music critics on their last album, which they should never have done. I recently listened to their song "Hopeful," which they said never made the final album. It sounded like the classic Odesza I loved, and I honestly hope that the revert back to the sounds on A Moment Apart.… Expand

    Massive Odesza fan since day one but I'm kinda tripping on this album. Light of day is amazing and more their style but the rest of the album I'm not sure what they were doing. I've never had to skip or got bored with an Odesza album but it's pretty bad and uncreative. Almost like they went for pop radio or something. Light of day is insanely good though, made me cry.

    The constant malaise keeps these songs from generating the ridiculous, heart-swelling feeling of transcendence that the best big-room dance music can achieve, while the duo’s relentless approach keeps the music from feeling particularly intimate.

    The Last Goodbye is a definite improvement over A Moment Apart, which felt a bit too overcooked in retrospect. Here, they get the balance right, refining their sound without rehashing it, and trying new ideas without sacrificing their own character.

    This is a cinematic body of work that triumphs in its ability to meld a plethora of electronic styles together with the glue-like emotional intent of sentimental reminiscence, and poignantly reminds the listener to hold dear their loved ones.
