Perfect view

"For Norrvide, this album is all about concentrating on ambience but in doing so he doesn't pay enough attention to the songs themselves. Most are simply undercooked and don't go anywhere. With a few exceptions, the songs lack the melodic hooks necessary to hold the attention of the listener throughout an entire album. That's not to say that this music needs any sort of big choruses as that is certainly not the point. However, aside from a few songs on the album, most just don't have enough to hang on to".

"In Perfect View, Lust For Youth have immersed fuzzed-up '80s synthpop in an unnerving ambience, infused the whole thing with shades of house and come up with an album that's a challenge, but a completely mesmerising one".
