This an album that, if you're like me, you can tell it's for you as soon as the first seconds of Warm in the Winter. Knowing that you've got 14 more songs from different artists (albeit ones with similar sound bases). In theory, a 9 minute slow jam featuring autotune shouldn't be enjoyable every time, but Let's Kiss is. Alongside this, certain artists (Chromatics in particular) bring a different approach to italo-disco that makes it feel more like a great playlist that an album. That is a hint regarding a minor flaw in After Dark 2; that it could never link all in together as a typical band LP would, but I can't think of any time that's bothered me. What's more, not every track is a winner, such as Appaloosa's Fill the Blanks...but they make up for it with Intimate, coincidentally my favourite track on the LP:
