This album is a prime example of how nu-disco should be. It’s hypnotic, incredibly addictive, and you just can’t help but dance to it. The album really shines most in the second half, and my personal favorites are Narcissus and Jealousy. Just so much fun to listen to, and get lost in. That’s not to say the first half isn’t great as well. The first two tracks are meant to put you in a complete trance and seduce you with the groovy yet ethereal electronic production and ... read more

This album had the potential to be GREAT. I really do like the production on many of the songs here, it’s hypnotic and dance-y. However, this potential can only hold the album’s flaws for so long.

I can’t get myself to fully love “Makeup” but the other bonus tracks MORE than make up for it. The title track is, in fact, the theme song for this album and era. It encapsulates the essence and aesthetic of the Starfucker era flawlessly, and it ends up being one of the standout tracks off the album. Also, James Dean FUCKING SLAPS OMFG. Haven’t heard Slayyyter do something so aggressive and “hyperpop”-ish since Troubled Paradise!
