"So many of these songs sound better here because many of Leonard's studio works suffer from poor to average production. This album just sounds so good and the songs really take on a life of their own. The arrangements are superb. Favorite tracks "Dance Me To The End Of Love", "The Future", "Ain't..." [+] Reply
"This album really takes you on a ride right from the start and really shocked me when I first heard it. The sound is unconventional and quite unique which is mainly down to the vocal by Jordaan Mason. His harsh and raw voice fits the musical styling perfectly and when you combine that with the un..."

"Don't let the condensed tracklisting fool you, this album picks up where I Am Not Afraid of You left off and is just as sprawling. With songs veering in almost every direction the band has ever explored, Popular Songs is coming from a band oozing with confidence in who they are as a band. Highlig..." [+] Reply

"When I think of indie supergroups that work well, I think of the new pornographers, a group that combined the indie pop of a.c. newman, the country folk of neko case and the abstract indie avant of dan bejar and threw together a new indie power rock pop entity (with tons of energy replete with wa..."

"A great turning point in the style of the band, leaving the guitar-driven songs from the first album and the emotional lyrics in A Beautiful Lie for a more electronic (and commercial) sound. To fully appreciate the good moments on this record you should listen to it without thinking that this isn..." [+] Reply

"King Rat is fantastic. Maybe 2 other good songs then......meh. But hey it's only an outtakes album" Reply
"I’m a huge fan of this duo and here they tone back the Psychocandy blast of 2007’s ‘Lust Lust Lust’ for a more familiar mellow pop feel, personally I prefer the ear splitting reverb of the former but none the less this is another excellent album from Denmarks best" Reply

"Spencer Krug's projects just keep progressing better-and-better. Once again he has bested himself.
