Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The powerhouse DJ trio returns with a sprawling 17-track album and a solid Weeknd collaboration, though the forays into menacing, murkier sounds prove less satisfying.
-
The Guardian
Veering between pop-club pastiche and something more interesting, the Swedes’ debut album is largely palatable but unremarkable.
-
NME
After defining EDM in 2010 and breaking up at the height of their popularity, the trio have finally returned with – surprisingly – their debut album. It slaps.
-
Clash Magazine
Taken as a whole, however, it’s hard to begrudge Swedish House Mafia their success. It’s a phenomenally effective album, one built to occupy huge, widescreen places, and as a result foregoes the subtlety that more underground fare can enjoy. At best a fiery evocation of the electronic elements that team thrive on, ‘Paradise Again’ isn’t hell-on-Earth, but it doesn’t leave you enraptured.

Premier EDM
The release of Paradise Again feels like a turning point in the post-pandemic EDM scene. Things are still warming up; festivals are just trying to break even on their finances, most of the headlining artists are the same for every event, and a lot of new music has left me wanting more. But maybe this is the step in the right direction that we need. And maybe Swedish House Mafia is here to Save The World.

The Arts Desk
It's a quick-fix dip in the shallows of euphoria to post up on the socials.

Spectrum Culture
For every stroke of genius, there are moments where they lean on mediocrity for the sake of decent, clean sonics that rarely stake their claim on the dancefloor.
