Jun 5, 201290Endless Flowers is an amazing effort that deserves a place at the top of its genre. This album deserves to be heard and loved. Do yourself a favour and get yourself a copy once it hits the stores.

Jun 4, 201280What stands out is how Crocodiles have lightened up, embracing everything from grrrl-group alt pop to deliciously spacey new wave. [Jul 2012, p.90]
-
Jun 4, 201280At 10 tracks, Endless Flowers gets in, does what it does best and gets out again, leaving a stunning corpse with beautiful cheek bones.
-
Jun 7, 201274If only Endless Flowers were as infinite as its sound is blissful.
-
Jun 14, 201270Endless Flowers is an album of summer anthems for those who like their beach days mixed in with a good dose of torrential summer downpours.
-
Jun 13, 201270As if to remind us that they're still the weird Crocodiles, Endless Flowers's best song, the surging "My Surfing Lucifer," is preceded by a clumsy spoken-word piece (in German, of course) ... it's a sign that there's still room for Crocodiles to figure out what works and what doesn't. [No.88 p.53]
-
Jun 13, 201270They've produced an album worthy of a closer look.
-
Jun 4, 201270On Endless Flowers they wisely embrace that amorous but no less powerful approach to indie pop originally deployed by charismatic acts such as the Modern Lovers and Different Class-era Pulp. Pleasingly, it's a guise that fits them as perfectly as their sunglasses.

Jun 7, 201265The blindingly sunny Endless Flowers is an album appropriate for the beginning of the summer, all popsicles, poppy beats and poolside parties coalescing into warm nights
-
Jun 6, 201265Endless Flowers is Crocodiles' best album and also their most frustrating. They're simply trying to do good enough and no more.
-
Jul 9, 201260It features Crocodiles' most accessible work to date. [Jun 2012, p.146]
-
Jun 6, 201260Crocodiles play with great passion and honesty, and the album tackles every human emotion. Consider it an instant classic.
-
Jun 4, 201260Crocodiles try so much that it can be an exhausting listen, but still there is enough here to keep this outing from San Diego's noise pop outfit from wilting.
-
Jun 4, 201260Ultimately, Endless Flowers is a poppier, prettier record than Crocodiles have managed before.
-
Jun 8, 201250Unfortunately, too much of this record slows down or stops short completely, selling loud walls of sound in place of recognizable hooks and undercooked, sentimental lyrics in place of real emotion. The good stuff makes its mark and moves on, but there's just not enough of it, and the rest of Endless Flowers feels, well, endless.
