"I think this is DT's best album since 1999; I wouldn't call it a return to form, since DT never really slumped all that much, but it's certainly a slight improvement over recent releases. The absence of Portnoy might've hurt the band's energy, but it certainly removed some of the cheesiness. The ..." [More]

"This is classic Decemberists! Song topics include children and the loss thereof, historical military, summer vs. winter, sailing, and, of course, lust. And there's plenty of vocabulary, if that's your thing. In addition to big words you already know (obverse, condescend, misbegotten) there's also..." [More]

"Groovy ambient. Shimmering loops. Fluffy and infinitely soothing wall of sound. Immersive and repetitive."

"I really like a bunch of the songs on this record. I like the vibe of it even if it does get a tad repetitive by the end (which is why Liberation is extra nice). I love the style of the vocals, although I feel the production gives it the feel of being a bit buried. Overall one of the more consist..." [More]

"This album fits the description of a grower, I can see why people will like it and how some people wont. Good album with a touch of Petty in a few songs. Best tracks for me are "wrecking ball, I just might, and GSGood"."

"Sounding like a demon fronting New Order, Future Islands 'In Evening Air' was one of the truly magical products of the early 2010s"

"Easily Paul Simon's most challenging album. Gone is traditional structure and replaced with something more about feel. Simon's lyrics are as fantastic as ever, but musically he is really pushing himself, and how refreshing that a guy who will be 75 in October is still pushing himself, as opposed ..." [More]
