  1. Tiny Mix Tapes
    90
    Essentially, Horses in the Sky adopts a host of varying song mechanics and a wider array of lyrical themes, a broadened pallet that either suggest a band in transition, or a newfound confidence in songwriting.
  2. Playlouder
    80
    This record is, the odd awful phrase here or there aside, rather marvellous.
  3. Almost Cool
    60
    The first album from the group that feels downright tedious to me in places, as well as the first one that feels like they're spinning their wheels a bit.
