  1. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Setting a new bar for imaginative electronic composers of the day
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Weber's trademark fusion of cascading chimes and subdued yet propulsive rhythm has expanded radically in scope. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The Triad's twinkly elegance is packed with rich detail that greatly rewards deeper investigation. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    The producer's most maximalist and emotional release to date

  5. 8.0 |   Beardfood

    In a genre where cold, emotionless music is a badge of honour, Pantha Du Prince adds warmth without losing intricacy

  6. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It’s a worthy diversion from the well-trodden paths of other techno producers

  7. 7.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    Pantha du Prince exists in a rarefied field of techno

  8. 7.0 |   The Music

    The Triad retreads some familiar structures and hypnotically twinkling sounds, but there's enough progress and wonder here to celebrate another expertly realised batch of exquisite dreams made flesh
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Songs routinely build toward soaring, soft-touch climaxes, as eddies of sounds swirl in mounting ascension, the balletic interplay between galactic bodies remaining one of the album's most persistent themes
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    A chilly but ultimately approachable affair
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Overall, The Triad is a satisfying reminder that Pantha Du Prince is still the best at what he does
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   All Music

    An expansion of Pantha du Prince's otherworldly sound into a more human realm, but it still maintains its ethereal, magical qualities
    Read Review

  13. 6.7 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    We’re forced to accept what we’re given on The Triad, which is a lot of top-notch productions with a whole lot of shitty vocals. It would have almost been more satisfying if the productions were worse

  14. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    A rich composition, both playful and serious, where the themes of peacefulness and torment are worked out as part of the same whole
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    While this first solo album in six years is elevating, and intricate in its elegance and rhythmic propulsions, it remains uncluttered by the chaos of true, visceral emotion
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   DIY

    For every dark, dreary, wintery moment, there’s more than enough of luxurious, melodic techno bliss to make up for it
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It does resemble something close to a jam session where unpolished but great ideas are worked out to be developed more fully later
    Read Review

  18. 5.8 |   Resident Advisor

    Weber might have grown weary of being the same old Pantha Du Prince
    Read Review

  19. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Built from moments of refined beauty stretched across a frame that might be just too big
