"Commissioned by Nike and available at iTunes, the piece is purportedly based on 'an arc designed for running,' featuring new music by the band, pieced together like a DJ mix in a fashion that's apparently supposed to help me forget I'm hating life on the jogging trail. And somehow, it almost manages to do that. After taking it on a test run, I can attest that the music really does move forward similarly to my own metabolism, gradually building, holding a modest climax in the middle, and ending on a long, fluffy comedown. None of the music really qualifies as 'songs,' as there isn't much in the way of lyrics or big hooks beyond unobtrusive chants like 'shame on you' or 'no fun in space' – though, as I see it, that's a plus for a running mix. There's nothing like being bogged down by music that demands too much attention while you're trying to exercise." - Pitchfork
