#Flume albums series#
Ben Thompson of The Observer said, "Distinguished guests-UK nearly siren AlunaGeorge, rapper Vince Staples-are ushered respectfully through a series of viable electronic hinterlands, where a couple of them, notably perennial cameo supplier Little Dragon and Wu Tang vet Raekwon, manage to put down roots in actual songs". Jim Carroll of The Irish Times felt that several tracks seemed to emphasize "showing off textures rather than providing the breathing room for an actual song to emerge". The Sydney Morning Herald 's Craig Mathieson gave the album a positive review, stating that "the record is intoxicating and eclectic". Jonathan Wroble of Slant Magazine said, "If the burden on electronic producers is to establish personality beyond a dense network of light displays and computer processing, this album gets Flume halfway there: It shows him as unquestionably human (overeager, alternately flashy and timid, sometimes more in awe than in control), but still a bit faceless". Keith Harris of Rolling Stone said, "Restless versatility is all over the LP, generating the emotional crests and sensory overload a festival crowd demands, but with a nuance that'll make it work even if you aren't shirtless in the desert". But maybe it's the sound of floodgates opening".
Stacey Anderson of Pitchfork said, " short and snappy, gone too fast in an album that could've been streamlined to let moments like it shine. Luke Fowler of Pretty Much Amazing said, " Skin is the sound of Flume reaching for great heights and almost grasping what he seeks there". David Smith of the Evening Standard gave a similarly positive review, stating that "this is music that can do much more than get feet moving". The Independent 's Justin Carissimo gave the album a very positive review, stating that the album was "the audio equivalent of ecstasy". Derek Staples of Consequence said, "Gearing up to be the next EDM crossover talent, Flume's sophomore effort, Skin, showcases a producer at ease with all of the sounds moving tickets at America's major festival events: hip-hop, indie pop, and EDM". Kahron Spearman of The Austin Chronicle said, " Skin goes Technicolor and bigger, effectively standing on the shoulders of Disclosure and giant stars including Skrillex, Diplo, and album collaborator/reinventor Beck". Heather Phares of AllMusic said, "While it could have benefitted from some editing, Skin still shows a lot of growth-it's more mature, and more memorable, than Flume". Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 6.8 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.
#Flume albums professional#
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 75, based on 11 reviews. Skin was met with generally positive reviews. But then something like 'album names goes here' I don't mind either even though I'd say it's not super soulful, but it's kind of hyperreal and I kind of 'get' it.Īgain I'm geuninely not trying to bash it, I'm just trying to understand where/what the ideal listening space for it is.‹ The template Album ratings is being considered for merging. › Professional ratings Aggregate scores The samples are wonderfully used, the production is intriguing to me and there's a soulfulness I enjoy. Is there some scenario or feeling or something I should be focussing on maybe that'll help me next time I listen? Like Jamie XX's in colour I adore, it's one step in the 90s, one step in the 2010s. It felt like CSGO Surf compilation tunes which isn't the fault of the music if that's the kind of thing I've heard people use. I had a quick listen to the first few tracks this morning and I didn't think they were bad, I just wasn't really seeing what was special. I think out of the albums on the top 100, Worlds was the only one I maybe knew nothing off at all, most of the others I know exceptionally well or know bits and pieces off.
