Mar 24, 2017Girls masterfully accomplished to compress the feelings of a lost youth in a single album. From stat to finish, Album is wholeheartedly honest and self-aware.

Aug 1, 2012Girls' debut is definitely one of the best albums of 2009. There is a lot of emotion in this album, unlike most of the indie records nowadays. They are now one of my favorite bands

Jun 3, 2012I do like the singer's voice...it reminds me of Elvis Costello. However, Costello's tunes had balls, brains, and had some compelling points to make about the psyche of the lonely, self-pitying sap. I like the newer album, but I really have no use for this one.

JackHOct 18, 2009This is simply good music, filled with passion and heartache. Daniel Brockman should have another listen.

IrvingIrvingOct 9, 2009God how I hate The Phoenix. Their drivel amounts to the most compelling argument to read pitchfork, lame as it is.

ChristianP.Sep 26, 2009Embarrassingly overrated. one great song, and even that is about twice as long as it needs to be. What a bore.

Awards & Rankings
-
Girls' 2009 album (simply titled Album) actually proved itself worthy of the hype upon its release.
-
Despite having ties to shitgaze, this isn’t a record obsessed with that aesthetic, and this works to its advantage, since these songs clearly aspire to be bigger than that and have very real potential to be.
-
Its their frivolous experimentalism and willingness to toy with all aspects of the past that make Girls such an invitingly warm and honest proposition
