Although I understand the opinion, I don't look at the slow, quiet interludes as filler tracks so much as valleys that make the peaks what they are.
Also, while the big tracks are real cathartic moments, M83 has always been a product of 80s teenage movie culture (most explicitly in the two latest albums), and moments of victory for are, without exception, preceded by scenes of quiet reflection, with the protagonists slinking into the dark, alone, without anyone to understand them and sympathize, with their thoughts building up to moments of self-realization, epiphany. M83's music literally, on a scene by scene basis, mirrors the thematic timelines of 80s movies.
Anyway, I'm obviously really bored right now, sorry.
