 Ultimately, an album not entirely successful, which leaves a bit of a bitter taste as it was a potentially very interesting project.

 The immediate impact of this new work by Royksopp was neither exciting nor particularly striking.

 Senior merely strings together a series of monotonous and repetitive - as well as long - instrumental excursions based on sequencers, white noise, and drum machines.

Röyksopp’s album Senior was highly anticipated as a follow-up to the well-regarded Junior but falls short. The album relies on vintage synth sounds and repetitive instrumental passages, lacking the richness and lyrical depth of previous works. The experimentation seems lost, and the album fails to capture interest, making it a disappointing installment in their discography. Explore Röyksopp's Senior and judge if its ambient synth style captures your mood.

 The rot has never sung better, he sounds like a muezzin shouting from the highest tower of a burning nuclear power plant.
