Alternative PressThese guys sound like they don't even understand why punks and classic rockers drink at separate bars. [Nov 2006, p.198]
-
[Finn] not only has a commanding, rousing voice but he also says something worth hearing, displaying gifts for both scope and depth that are all too rare in contemporary rock-- indie or mainstream.
-
[Finn] tells better stories than anyone else in music these days. [Oct 2006, p.131]
-
MojoThis time the music is as rich and detailed as [Finn's] wordplay. [Feb 2007, p.100]
-
[Finn's] smart, poetic, unashamedly adult lyrics... almost guarantee this is the best arena band that’ll never play an arena.
-
THS’s move toward a purer aping of classic rock is mostly welcome and largely successful; the fallout is the loss of the band’s snaky, blunt riffing, their wit dissipating into a pool of honest rocking.
-
Though loquacious, 'Boys and Girls in America' is a record full of maddening stream of consciousness lyrics that amble without direction, and narratives with no real stories or purpose.
