The album has many strengths, but the flaw... is represented by the factor of taking itself too seriously and being repetitive in some declamations. 'Explode' represents the duo’s best work, but should be taken in small doses, without emphasizing its monotony too much.

AGF/Delay's 'Explode' is an ambitious electronic album blending ambient, techno, and micro-house with spoken-word narratives. The collaboration explores intense themes but suffers from repetitiveness and takes itself too seriously at times. While the album creates a sense of unease with interesting ideas, it occasionally loses momentum and feels heavy. Overall, 'Explode' is their best work so far, recommended in moderation. Explore AGF and Vladislav Delay's 'Explode' for a unique mix of spoken word and electronic soundscapes!

We are not talking about musical revolutions or stunning albums, rather about a pleasant listen between rock and punk with some electronic inserts to make the passive listener dance or move. Sometimes it happens, even in the best families, to feel like a superficial and catchy album, to jump because you’re happy and the sun is shining outside.

"The Books are one of the most important bands in the field of electroacoustic sampling and they can deliver the right punch or feel a certain compositional apathy." "Everything results to their ears as sampleable, everything becomes rhythm in their hands (and by everything I mean truly everything, from a quote of Gandhi to birds, a yoga session or traffic in the street)."
