    It took me a little longer than most of the recent GBV records to get into this one, but it's turned out to be decent, if not a bit ramshackle. I think Sprout is starting to evolve more. His 'All American Boy' sounds just like a 1971 Lennon song, voice and everything. Pollard is always restless, but here moreso than normal. A lot of his songs are on the weirder end of the spectrum.

    Cool Planet is a messy indie sprawl for the patient faithful. [Aug 2014, p. 204]

    Tobin's songs offer a more lucid warmth. [Jul 2014, p.96]

    The record sounds big, but not too fussed-over. [No. 110, p.56]
