What is everyones thoughts on M83? Anthony Gonzalez and M83 are by far my favorite band and each album that he releases is completely different in terms of the last. From techno to I'm not sure to 80's throwback to something unique, every album and song he does is just hauntingly awesome/beautiful. Probably the most underrated band/artist out there today and he is starting to slowly pick up steam and recognition, as Hurry Up, We're Dreaming was considered one of the top albums of 2011. Highly recommend him if you like good music.

Dig 'em. "Saturdays = Youth" is my favorite album; "Digital Shades Vol. 1" is good, too.

Haven't listened to any of their old stuff but I like the new album. Other than "midnight city", "Steve Mqueen" and "Reunion" are solid jams

Do it. It's amazing to hear him then and now. The way he has evolved is amazing. And his old stuff is actually incredible too. It's almost as if he is telling a story with how his music progression has gone. And I hate to be that guy, but M83 consists only of Anthony Gonzalez, with collaboration from other people.

Also, if anyone has seen That's It, That's All, you'll know that M83 is incredible to listen to while engaged in a winter extreme sport. That movie brought my attention to M83 and I highly recommend it. It's basically Travis Rice and friends in the backcountry doing insane tricks that were shot with an Imax camera. Just breathtaking.

Well I have a Pandora station dedicated to them, but I think they're hit or miss. Or he is hit or miss. Used to be they...

i dont know about M-83s

but i do know M-80s are pretty cool

Joe Dirt: Well, I see you got those snakes and sparklers. But where's the good stuff man?
Kicking Wing: Good stuff? This is the good stuff, snakes and sparklers.
Joe Dirt: Are you nuts, dude? You need stuff that'll explode. Go boom!
Kicking Wing: Why is that good?
Joe Dirt: Well, duh, might as, might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good? Man, firecrackers, ya stick 'em in mailboxes, you drop 'em in toilets, shove 'em up bullfrogs asses.
Kicking Wing: I would never do that, because one day I'm going to open an animal hospital.
Joe Dirt: Well there you go. One day some guy shoves an M-80 up his butt, blows him to bits, he comes to you to put him back together. You win twice, brother.
