"This is straight-up fight music. '2017 - 2019' isn't quite this lairy elsewhere, but most of it is jagged, hard-hitting and seriously over-driven" - Resident Advisor says in a review of Nicolas Jaar's somewhat left-of-center electro project Against All Logic. "Jaar has frequently asked that we move our bodies to his music, but never in this way... The change has Jaar sounding artistically replenished", RA adds - "'2017 - 2019' is an album of stylistic leaps, radiant melodies, difficult-to-place sounds and red herrings".
