one member left. their other music outside of M83 is also mediocre.

But this is actually the best M83 album. I didn't live through the 80s, I never got to experience 80s music when it was fresh and new, this album gave me the sense of experiencing retro music as if it was new, like I was really part of it and not just experiencing it second hand. There are a lot of "music that sounds like 80s synth pop" from the 2000s that's way better than music from the 80s, i mean just miles better and I'm glad it exists because a lot of 80s music is shit with flashes of obscured brilliance, but this album felt like it could have an entire subculture dedicated to it if it had come out at the right time

It seems like people have pretty much forgotten his old stuff.

Not that all of it was good to begin with.

It started out as a duo, byt after that album it turned into a (mostly) solo project.

well the first two albums had another member too. I'd say that was the reason they fell off but BTDHU is only a little worse than DCRSLG.

idk, this album felt like such a sellout when it came out. I'll be honest I did dig it a bunch, but like... cmon it's so much less powerful than dead cities and before the dawn. I dont' even feel like I can compare them because it feels like a different band

Dead Cities is slightly above average warpish knobtwiddling, it sounds good but it doesn't mean anything, it's completely vapid music. At least Saturdays = Youth luxuriates in its vapidness. And it sounds really, really nice on headphones.

before the dawn heals us was the last great album they had.. the rest has been pretty meh

i'm not who you're replying to but naw you got it all backwards. Dead Cities should honestly be considered a classic in the psychedelic genre. i'm older now and don't fuck around with psychs anymore but the experiences i've had listening to that album on psychs were ungodly. That shit is so powerful. Saturdays=Youth reduced the depths of their synth patches to shitty 80s soggy buscuit chiliwave retro garbage

They peaked at Before the Dawn. Every song was great.

Hurry Up We're Dreaming was their jump to normiedom, even though that's still a good album.
