Jun 14, 2022One of the best albums of the decade. I love this a lot. I am obsessed. The hard work shows. Highlights: "Atop a Cake", "Party Police", "Adult Diversion", "Archie, Marry Me", "Next of Kin". Highly recommend. I need to buy this album soon. I listened to this album too many times. Just a perfect pop record.

Aug 31, 2020This is a solid debut album that contains heartfelt emotional ballads about forlorn love. Her voice imbues all the emotion that these songs need to have.

Jan 29, 2018Although quite repetitive, it is a very upbeat and fun album. A great debut.

Jul 23, 2017One-hundred percent catchy, surf pop-y goodness. Grab a cozy chair and pop on any one of these tracks for an instant case of "warm and fuzzies" and a longing for the summer days of yesteryear.

Read my review if you fancy a second opinion. ''Alvvays' Album Review: Chirpy, Charming, Yet Ultimately Forgettable.' -
Aug 14, 2014it took me a few listens before the non singles reached out and grabbed me. the first two tracks are good singles; 'adult diversion' and 'archie marry me.' i also love the songs 'dives,' and 'ones who love you.'

Jul 24, 2014Relatable. Infectious. Alvvays, on their self-titled LP, takes hold and doesn't let go, mesmerizing the listener each pass through. One of the best albums of 2014 by far, Alvvays deserves all the accolades that come their way as a result. I just hope it reaches enough people to get that consideration.

Jul 22, 2014This is a stunning, nearly-flawless debut. The only thing missing is more songs. I could listen to dozens more. This could be the start of something huge. I dare you to NOT enjoy it!

Jan 8, 2015Their sound is fully formed, but they could stand to mix it up in song structure and technique, but that’s being picky. One of my favorite releases of the year and highly recommended.

Aug 21, 2014Though there are moments of frayed musical charm throughout Alvvays, including the irresistible crack in Rankin's voice during the final chorus of "Party Police" and the so-jangly-it-hurts arpeggios of "Atop a Cake," it exhibits an unexpected level of versatility for a debut.
