, the debut full-length from EDM-lite duo , is a calculated dose of millennial escapism that peddles the same sounds as their far more engaging EP work. Following and -- home to their megahits "Closer" and "Don't Let Me Down" -- serves as evidence that might be better equipped for shorter releases. Even with the help of producer and guests like , , and ' is just not that memorable. Over 12 songs that mostly sound the same with little to differentiate one from another, shill a live-fast-die-young attitude that quickly grows tiresome (if listeners reach penultimate track "Young," where sings about wrecking a girl's car, almost fighting her father, and sneaking out to bars, the patience will likely have already run out). However, fans are probably not seeking depth and gravitas in a album. Rather, they can rely on the duo for fleeting feelings of joy and bliss, no matter how overly simplified. ' typical chords and drops are all present, carrying waves of naive and sophomoric lyrics that stretch for profundity, like on "Bloodstream" -- one of the many electro ballads on -- where sings, "I'm fucked up/I'm faded/I'm so complicated." It not only comes off as obnoxious, but the production itself is so similar to "Roses" (and "Closer") that listeners might be hit with an annoying sense of deja vu. There's plenty more MOR EDM to be had on ("My Type," "Honest," and "Don't Say" for starters), but in terms of songs that actually stand out, there are just a few. Singles like "Paris" and the duet "Something Just Like This" are undeniably catchy, especially the latter, which is a double-whammy of 's pure ineffable joy-rock and ' patented drops. Two other standouts benefit from guest vocalists. On the co-write "It Won't Kill Ya," French singer delivers a soulful and dramatic sequel to 's turn on "Don't Let Me Down," while R&B singer elevates "Wake Up Alone." This certainly is not one of the worst albums ever recorded; indeed, it has its moments of merit that hit the proper spots and deliver the intended dose of dopamine. However, as a cohesive statement worthy of an album's length of the listener's attention, is lacking. With a pair of strong EPs behind them, need further practice before they can prove themselves to be an album act. Only a few songs have the necessary half-life that extends beyond the tracks that follow. On "Wake Up Alone," asks, "Will you still care in the morning/When the magic's gone?" Until there's more evidence to the contrary, the answer is unfortunately "no." ~ Neil Z. Yeung
