If you’re the kind of listener who cries foul every time an artist swaps source material, Worlds might not be for you. But if you can cut the guy a little creative slack, then Worlds is pretty freakin’ awesome.
70
Although it doesn’t sound quite like EDM, Worlds manages to retain the thrilling rush of emotions that the best raves inspire.
69
Much more than a corrective gesture, the specific mix of sounds on Worlds—part synthy indie-pop, part twinkling bedroom-beatmaker fare, part festival-ready electro—comes at an excellent time.

Through several clumsier moments, it's evident Robinson's still getting the hang of making music that translates outside clubs and festivals. Going by what he has accomplished and what he aimed to achieve here, his development should be fascinating.
50

Worlds mimics the similarly nostalgic ache of M83 but without that act’s nuance or individuality: He’s trying to shift from extroversion to introspection by simply slowing and softening his clichés. At this early point, Robinson’s interior universe seems strikingly secondhand.

EDIT: 6 years. thank you, porter.

I think it's just hard for fans of porter to describe how surreal of an experience it is for them. I couldn't properly explain how I feel when I listen, But I'll try my best.
Porter's music is like an "everything will be ok" message.
However, unlike most situations, I believe it. When people say "it gets better" its usually meaningless to me. You don't understand what I'm thinking and you will never. And even if You know it will, how can I trust you? Do you really care or ... read more

this album is kinda generic, sure, say what you want, but this is my favorite album of all time. it's at the point where i barely listen to it anymore because if i do i'll probably start crying out of sheer blissful nostalgia. i love this thing to pieces, it's probably unhealthy
