Heartthrob (studio album) by Tegan And Sara

This, well, sort of sucks compared to many other "indie pop" releases.

Rather Good / Good

Meh. Whatever. Just a couple words that pretty much sum up my reaction to this album. It’s not bad, sure, it’s got its moments, some of the songs are kinda catchy, but for the most part, the album is pretty unspectacular. Like I said, a couple good songs here and there (like “I Was A Fool" and “Closer"), but for the most part, the whole album sounds the same, there’s very little variety, and the songs aren’t anything terribly spectacular. It’s decent, but underwhelming to say the least.

Not their best, but a nice little pop rock album

I was never a huge fan of Tegan and Sara, but always thought they might have something special, but THIS does not help me with attempting to get into them. Very boring.

Not my usual scene, but credit where credit is due, they made me bop along on my way to Uni, enjoyable first listen.

I never really cared for them in the first place. But this album is by far their worst. boring typical indie pop.

Just slightly better than the everyday manufactured pop sound. If you're into this kind of music then you'll probably have a good time, though honestly it succeeds most when it is at least catchy but this album doesn't even have that going for it very often.

I have mixed feelings. So what if Tegan and Sara wanted to release a poppier album? They are rooted in pop after all, so it's not like it's a huge departure. If they want to do it, great - they probably do a better job than most. There are some standout moments on this album. However, there are times on this album where they lose their identity and sound a bit contrived. It's not as consistent as The Con. Basically, I'm glad they did this album, but they could have done it a bit better.

Tegan and Sara go treacle. With so much talent it's a shame!
