Mar 18, 2016Packing too much tunefulness and pop sensibility to ever feel crushingly miserable, Compassion is nevertheless ripe for wallowing in.
-
Mar 23, 2016Even with the cop-out dream pop closer of “In Return” tarnishing what could be a great record, Lust for Youth’s Compassion treats its influences with the care that realizes the importance of going beyond such a sound rather than completely imitating it.
-
Apr 4, 2016It all makes for a heartfelt, satisfying whole that reaffirms Lust for Youth as one of the few bands reinterpreting the '80s that can rival and surpass its influences as well as its contemporaries.
-
Mar 16, 2016For a prolific set of musicians, Compassion feels like the work of a group taking time to flesh out their ideas. With this headier approach comes a loss of some of the engaging, energetic moments of International, but also a renewed confidence.
-
Mar 18, 2016Many of the songs here sound not just derivative but generic. Compassion still feels like the album that Lust For Youth have been working toward this whole time--it just turns out that the journey may have been more rewarding than the destination.
-
Apr 22, 2016Compassion is the trio’s second album, and its eight songs straddle the line between the past and the present, between melancholy gloom and euphoric dance music.
-
Mar 16, 2016While the second half of the album almost makes up for its flaws, it doesn't quite manage to make Compassion a memorable whole.
