"Right from the Tonetta-like opener Charlotte’s Thong through to the weepy Les Be Honest, NZ’s Connan Mockasin keeps you transfixed by his mopey adolescent narrative, even if most of the lyrics are unintelligible. His yodelly whine occasionally grates, but set amidst the greasy guitar and snippets..."  [+]  Reply

"Thank You For Today represents, what should be, a breath of fresh air for Death Cab - two new members in the fold. And if it's anything Death Cab needs at this moment in their career is some new wind. Though the loss of Chris Walla is often seen as a detriment to the band's future, it seemed that..."  [+]  Reply

"Metric achieve their most consistent and well-put together record since Fantasies in this indie rock album. With engaging and varied material and quite possibly their best lyrical content ever, Art of doubt is sure to get the respect it deserves, given some time. My pick for best album of 2018.

"The eleven track version of the album is nice enough, quite relaxing considering the theme, but I still prefer the record that was released in early '75. The 'original' lyrics on this release seem a little clunky and clumsy on some tracks (mainly, Tangled up in blue, and, Idiot wind), not to say ..."  [+]  Reply

"A few relistens helped me understood how to appreciate this album. It definitely is an album of texture. I love it for how it sounds and the subtleties in its texture."  Reply

"Sometimes this is somehow plain, but at other times it's a very happy album and perfect for some background noise. I really dig this even though I never heard about White Denim until now. Somehow the frontman's voice reminds me of FJM but in a more upbeat kind of way. Favorite songs: "Magazin", "..."  [+]  Reply
