Toro Y Moi - Outer Peace

6.3

This is the perfect example of a roller-coaster made album, not precisely for the variety of emotions but for the weird feelings it gets you going: the first tracks nail it, the middle is a chaotic mess, the songs that follow try to help but the closing ones are terrible.

Highlights

- When it gets groovy, it's impossible to stop dancing around.

- There's simplicity here, where the less is more and the less is poignantly utter.

- Hypnagogia oozes out and ballances the record all together.

Lowlights

- Chaz seems to be in better control when he's just playing funky fun and not indulging into current trends like trap or spacey R&B.

- The synths are great but the lyrical content just seems redundant and unimpressive.

- For an album this short, it surely suffers from personality disorders.

Standouts

- Fading

- Ordinary Pleasure

- Freelance
