5.0 out of 5 stars Little Dragon's Newest Release Doesn't Disappoint
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2012
Verified Purchase
In a word, Little Dragon stretches beyond the confines of genre. That being said, they take the stylistic elements that interest them the most and use them with such understatement and purpose that when I listen to them I feel like like I'm hearing multiple styles of music in their most distilled, most pure form. I personally am not too articulate when it comes to describing music, perhaps precisely because I'm a composer of concert music and a jazz pianist, so I won't go on to describe the tracks. All I can say is that if you like music that exists purely because it should, then please listen to as much of Little Dragon's music as you can, including this album, Ritual Reunion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like the album
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013

Not my regular type of music usually it is rap. One day while looking through the Google Play store they were giving "Ritual Union" song for free. Downloaded it listened to it and loved it. The girl's voice got me hooked me so I came to Amazon and for the purchase.

Album is great, 11 songs no filler not much else I can say that hasn't been said by other reviewers. I don't listen to the stuff on the radio i.e. Lady Gaga, Britney, etc. or radio at all so I can't compare them to this band. It's just a freak accident that I stumbled upon this music and weirdly like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Even though I love this record
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016

During transition into a more danceable current, there are hot successful tracks here, while there are also some very chill tracks that pull a vibe from their first album. Even though I love this record, it turns out to be too much of a rough cut between Machine Dreams and Nabuma Rubberband. It's for fans first.

Favorite track: Brush the Heat

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Brilliant

Was hooked by the title track being played repeatedly on 6 Music - thought it was kellis at first then headed to the internet to discover what I had been missing. Really great Album - reminded me of my dance music days with lots of dubsteppy bassy backbeats with lovely vocals over the top and all concieved as an album rather than just a jumble of good tracks.

Little dragon is one of the most amazing bands I have ever heard. When you find a band like them with rich vocals and complex tonal backgrounds and beats, there is no option greater than vinyl for enjoying them at home. Not just recommended, mandated!

The shipment came quick and was well packed to ensure a perfect product on arrival.

Little Dragon is the type of pop music I can listen to. It is better that the stuff that the music industry tries to pass as pop music. Listen to Ritual Union and tell me I'm wrong. If you can listen to Twice and Blinking Pigs on their previous albums!

I watched this band for the first time when they opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers and loved them immediately. Very catchy rhythm's and the lead singer has a nice voice. One of my new favorite albums for listening to in the car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Dragon es mi hit <3
Reviewed in Mexico on February 25, 2018

Gracias a este álbum es que he incursionado en la discografía de Little Dragon descubriendo a quien sería mi banda favorita. Recuerdo escuchar ritual union en una playlist de Spotify allá por el 12 y mi primera reacción fue que esa canción era “prohibida” y que no debería escucharla, pasó mucho tiempo hasta que volví a escucharla y descargué el álbum completo. En verano del 17 en shuffle mode saltó Summertearz a mis oídos y wooow ¡Compren el álbum ya! B^)

5.0 out of 5 stars Eigentlich nicht mein bevorzugtes Genre…
Reviewed in Germany on March 14, 2013

…dennoch gefällt mir „Ritual Union“ der schwedischen Band „Little Dragon“ so gut, dass ich es auf und ab höre.
Es ist abwechslungsreich in der Klangstruktur und kein Stück ähnelt sich, ohne aber das eines wie ein Fremdkörper wirkte.
Außerdem bietet es eine interessante Mischung aus Indiepop (oder ähnlichem), elektronischen Elementen und dem hervorstechenden vielschichtigen Gesang der japanischen Sängerin Yukimi Nagano. Sie ist bisher auch mit Abstand die einzige japanische Sängerin, deren Gesang mir nicht in den Ohren wehtut … im Gegenteil (OK – vielleicht noch Kuroneko von der japanischen Gruppe Onmyōza)
Auf Wikipedia beispielsweise wird das Genre der Band unter Synthpop eingeordnet. Das wäre aber zu einfach. Es ist mehr als das.
Das Gefühlsbild was ich bei diesem Album wahrnehme reicht von fröhlich über cool bis mystisch (in manchen Liedern auch alle)
Für mich ist es zweifellos das beste Album vom „Kleinen Drachen“.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2011

I first heard of this band from their collaboration with the Gorillaz on the album 'Plastic Beach'. The I discovered the moving video for 'Twice' on Youtube and I thought 'I have to hear more from this group'.

I only just learned today that this album is their 3rd, listening to it and the album simply called 'Little Dragon' I'd assumed that Ritual Union was an earlier album because it is more minimalist, maybe a tiny bit more experimental. Its good to know that they're looking to make their sound even more avante guarde and not just try to please a larger mainstream audience.

The band's sound is mainly due to the understated and husky lyrics of Yukimi Nagano. The album uses a variety of beats and melodies and there's only as many instruments as are necessary, nevermore. Songs like 'Summertearz' are striking due to a beat which is reminiscent of some 'world' music from South Africa. All in all the album has a haunting quality and a sad tone but the music is beautiful. Well worth a listen.
