Q MagazineMay 20, 2014Someday World is a joyous blend of busy rhythms and bright, surging melodies with fleeting hints of Hot Chip and Talking Heads. [Jun 2014, p.108]
-
MojoMay 15, 2014Hyde and Eno's voices knit together well and the album is full of surprises. [Jun 2014, p.93]
-
May 1, 2014“The Satellites” opens the album with tart trumpets over staccato guitars, “To Us All” closes it with an oceanic excursion. In between are liquid pools of guitar and chattering keyboards.
-
May 1, 2014Someday World shows us our trappings and our mortality, but rather than get overly sentimental, or even revert to doom-mongering, it creates something fun.
-
May 6, 2014Eno does his best to keep things floating on Someday World, but without a partner able to punch in the same weight class, their combined efforts end up uneven and lopsided.
-
Jun 13, 2014Someday World sounds quite like Happy Mondays at times, and rather like King Crimson at others.
-
MagnetMay 19, 2014The record is full of texture, and while it maybe isn't essential listening, it's a nice addition to both catalogs. [No. 109, p.55]
-
May 5, 2014The preponderance of funky synthetic (and real) horns, fat grooves, and African and Eastern polyrhythms make Someday World an excellent exercise in beat-conscious, electronic art pop.
-
May 7, 2014Things get interesting when they occasionally stray from the path.
-
May 1, 2014As could be expected, Someday World has a flair for inventive interlocking compositions, but these are out of step thanks to its uneven pacing and are often palmed away by an enthusiasm for accelerated, busy instrumentation.
-
May 5, 2014Someday World is well arranged, meticulously produced, even catchy at times. But there’s an overriding sense of aimlessness, of people just dropping by the studio and breezing into the songs before wafting off to a more important appointment.
