  6. Ablum review • Calvin Harris’s albums have been received well by his peers and the media. Here is a selection of quotes from the website NME. • I created disco : excellent 7/10 • “But far more important is just how crazily talented Harris is. Like Chromeo set to turbo, ‘Acceptable In The 80s’ was a slice of retro electro-funk so infectious it probably even had Frank Gallows getting his new rave bosh on to it in the privacy of his own bedroom” (5) • Ready for the Weekend: 7/10 • “The album highpoint ‘Worst Day’, you get the impression that all Harris really wants from his career is the opportunity to make f@*kloads of people punch the air in unison.”(6) • 18 Months: 6/10. • “Along with the similarly long-in-the-tooth ‘Feel So Close’ and ‘We Found Love’, it adds a sense of familiarity and ubiquity that’s both the defining feature of this record and an inevitable symptom of Harris’ quite ridiculous success. If it sounds generic, it’s because Harris has made himself a genre.”(7)
