    The eclectic sounds are impressive, even if a tighter focus might have hit harder.

    Ambition is a necessary component of success for the up-and-coming producer who’s competing with a sea of unassuming copycats and clones, but he’s found that it is possible to go too far.

    ["New Dorp. New York"] lends a refreshing dose of personality to an album that's otherwise stoically straightfaced.

    Wonder Where We Land sounds like an album of great moments, rather than a consistently great record.

    A$AP Ferg is blithe and funny, while Raury’s endurance flow is impeccably weighted. But SBTRKT still doesn’t gel with songwriting.

    With all the work to try and incorporate these far-afield guest vocalists aside, it's worth noting that the production itself is more reliant on them than ever. Underneath them, the music is often flat and unadventurous, tasteful where it could stand to be raucous and rigid where it needs to be limber.

    Wonder Where We Land pads its vocal tracks with plush instrumentals, morsels of melody that would have been strong points if they weren't so half-baked.

The simple tracks are created with simple sounds that are put together in the tracks perfectly. They are not over done but simply simple.… Full Review »
