Sep 8, 2015Musically, Good Sad Happy Bad is both challenging and engrossing.
-
Sep 4, 2015Beneath those perverted pop bounces, though, are some sadder, softer moments, and a reminder that Levi doesn’t just need discordant noise to twist your insides.
-
Sep 15, 2015With their uncanny knack of still sounding like very few other bands before or since their early stirrings, faith in letting the "moment" loose has once more revealed Levi, Pell and Khan to be a strange and sorcerous triptych unto themselves.
-
Sep 24, 2015Although Good Sad Happy Bad is certainly the band’s least polished-sounding record, the combination of the scattered arrangements and Levi’s ruminations on sadness shrewdly underline the topsy-turvy feeling suggested by the title. Even with the band’s music messily chopped, looped, and jangled, the emotional messages always ring clear.
-
Sep 23, 2015Good Sad Happy Bad is more an interesting record than a piece of music you’ll return to for enjoyment. It’s a fun place to visit, but you might not want to live there.
-
Sep 11, 2015For all its unwieldy eccentricity, Good Sad Happy Bad is still fascinating.
-
Oct 5, 2015Good Sad Happy Bad--born out of a heavily edited jam session--feels more shapeless and, as a result, more frustrating.
