    Unashamedly one-dimensional, this mix will continue to divide.

    Each and every track is subservient to a formula which demands a whistling filter sweep, a rattling, super-hyped snare roll and the inevitable canyon-deep drop before it all goes nuts. [Dec 2012, p.113]

    Until Now never quite shakes the feeling of being a little gratuitous--a few euphoric gems aside, there isn't enough creative spark on the record to justify its existence, and listening to it feels about as useful as attending a Swedes gig without the live atmosphere.

    All are subjected to the same heavy hand on the tiller: beats are stonkingly four-to-the-floor, singers wail, breakdowns shudder.

'Swedish house mafia' lo ha vuelto a hacer. Son los reyes de la electrónica y de los set en directo, es una realidad. Ojalá se vuelvan a reunir como grupo... Pero para eso habrá que seguir soñando. Los mashup están perfectos tanto en tiempos como en sonidos que encajan a la perfección. Si 'Until One' era bueno este es mucho mejor.
