Fifty-word review

Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

9.4 out of 10

Anthony Gonzalez is no longer afraid of his own voice or power. Each minute shift in pitch or tone – every outburst in lyricism – tilts the world off its axis and dizzies the equilibrium of everyone around it. Even when you think he's winding down he charges up again, unrelenting, gorgeous, free.
