 The Finnish band Circle adopts the philosophy of the sole riff master that consistently shapes chords in progression.

 One of the best episodes of the album.

 My fear is that this album is the beginning of a commercialization process, in other words, the beginning of the end.

The review initially found M83's 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming' somewhat indifferent due to its shift from pure dream pop to a more pop-rock sound. Over multiple listens, the vocals, influenced by Peter Gabriel, became more appreciated. The album combines dreamy synths, pop hooks, and shoegaze textures, highlighted in tracks like 'Midnight City' and 'New Map.' However, the reviewer expresses concern about a possible move towards commercialization. Explore M83's 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming' and dive into its dreamy synth worlds and pop-rock fusion today!
