Feb 19, 2013This album was written collaboratively with the entire band’s input, so there’s a lot of ground covered on these 15 songs, and plenty of room to get lost.
-
Feb 19, 2013As a fully realized collaboration, this record sees STRFKR dimming the lights just a little bit and coming into their own more than ever before.
-
Feb 19, 2013Miracle Mile is the most varied Starfucker joint to date. It’s also one of the prettiest party records you’ll hear this year.
-
Alternative PressFeb 20, 2013Miracle Mile is a danceable record on its own, but also a reminder to revisit STRFKR's previous albums for a deeper submersion into their cosmic dream world. [Mar 2013, p.93]

Under The RadarMar 22, 2013Miracle Mile masks its doom-and-gloom lyricism with so much danceability that it plays out with excess optimism. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.102]

Mar 20, 2013Miracle Mile is fun, but the record’s sparse highs also lay bare its lows.

Apr 3, 2013It’s hard to tell if the first half of Miracle Mile is really better than the first, or whether it’s just that a kind of boredom sets in at some point during a listen, whether it’s your first or your fifth.

Feb 21, 2013Not a far stretch from 2011's Reptilians, Miracle Mile is, sonically speaking, lateral to its predecessors. But it holds enough well-crafted tunes to make for an enjoyable album.
-
Feb 19, 2013As brief as the moments of goodness may be, they’re lost in a sea of noise that becomes near indistinguishable when taken in one sitting.
-
Feb 19, 2013It's possible that the cumulative deadening effect of Miracle Mile is intentional, or that the contrast between the vacuous music and the spiritual ennui of the lyrics is supposed to be ironic. But Miracle Mile doesn't seem smart enough, musically or lyrically, for that to be the case.

Feb 21, 2013The vocals remain distorted and drowned out, which can be an interesting effect. Except this record could have used them as an anchor.
