Hi This Is Flume | 30/03/2019 | 87 | 1 |
Edit: This has improved for me. His sound is all at once unique and accessible. Quite enjoyable. Laatst gewijzigd: 25/06/2013 02:59 | |
But after going through every kind of ambience cafe jazz sounding track i'm feeling left empty and ripped off and confussed as how Flume has become so popular anyway. Also pondering how many other Australian's are feeling after seeing this at #1 in their local Sanity or record retailer and thinking it must be good? It's not totally terrible but it's definately not worth your hard earned. Laatst gewijzigd: 05/02/2013 13:23 | |
Then in the space of 9 months, I heard this album 4-5 times. I realised that with each listen, the album become better and better. There are quite some cool beats (I also noticed a stop-start sort of style), and electronic influences throughout the album. Despite having the tendency to be repetitive and a tad annoying (i.e. those chipmunk voices), I found that this album grew on me, and that I can listen to the songs on repeat. I also agree with above comment on how this album is not for everyone. I guess this album is mainly targeted at the 15-30 age group, and for the indie/electronic genre (I wouldn't really classify this as 'dance' because I cannot really 'dance' to some of these tracks :P). Flume is one of my favourite Australian and electronic artists of 2012/13. He might not be the most talented producer, but his style somehow strikes a chord with me and tens of thousands of other listeners. I guess this is a solid debut LP, but I hope his next LP goes one up, and is more complex and prominent that this. Deluxe Edition: A combination between adding rap/vocals to his instrumentals, and remixes. It really works well, and adds to the relevance of each track 1. Sintra (5*) 2. Left Alone (6*) 3.

While this generally isn't my kind of thing, I am slowly coming to appreciate it a little more and with forcible repeated listens of this album I did find it grew on me. While there are several tracks which don't really go anywhere or do anything for me there are some very cool moments. It's certainly not an any time any mood though, it has to be heard in the right setting. 3.5 | |

He definitely shows some promise, although I think he tends to lose the rhythm in some places. I think it's part of his production style anyway (he couldn't surely lose the rhythm intentionally), but it's distracting at times and becomes irritating. I did enjoy the album for the most part though, with standouts including Star Eyes, Change and Sleepless. | |
I like it. The production is very quirky and different but I really like the uniqueness of it. Apart from "Star Eyes", "Stay Close" and "Intro" all of the songs are of 4 star quality. "Holdin On", "Insane", "On Top" and "The Greatest View" are the highlights. Overall the quality is consistent throughout. I wasn't totally sure if I'd enjoy this or not after seeing some of the reviews but I wasn't left disappointed. I'm happy that the album has been successful on the charts and that Flume won multiple awards at the ARIAs this year. Good job Flume! |
