Until Now
Until Now is the second compilation album by Swedish house music supergroup Swedish House Mafia. The album was released on 19 October 2012 to mixed reviews by music critics who praised its singles and the rework of Coldplay's "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall", but deemed the record to be more suited for live play than home listening.
Mikael Wood from Los Angeles Times observed that while there was nothing in the "vocal-heavy set" that "suggests an aversion to pop", that Until Now "sounds more like a beginning than an end" despite coinciding with the group's retirement. BBC's Matthew Horton noted the group's mastery of controlling the "ecstasy rush" as there is "barely a track in this loosely mixed set that doesn't wheel out the intensifying beats and rising acid synths of the big hands-in-the-air crescendo", but felt that it was "exhausting" and "impatient" due to them incorporating unearned "big moments" that were "thrown into the record whenever the ideas pot runs dry".
