    We Are Scientists have put out there strongest album ever - growing up looks good on them. Helter Seltzer is an album of dream pop that's appearing through a glossy haze in a cavern of romantic ethereal reverb!

    Helter Seltzer offers a master class in grandiose indie-pop and how to maximize the potential of the simplest of sounds. [No. 133, p.58]

    This is the sound of a band hitting their stride, albeit belatedly. [#361, p.116]

    There's no denying the pair know their way around a perky tune, but their songs are unmemorable because their sound is so heavily recycled. [Jul 2016, p.82]
