    It’s the LP’s sense of cohesion, achieved despite its sonic variety, which makes Hour Of Green Evening a triumph. A measured triumph, but a triumph nonetheless.

    Hour of Green Evening remains engaging even at its most lethargic. ... There’s a mystical, almost hallucinatory quality to Becker’s songwriting.

    Hour of Green Evening might have benefited from more of that wilder teenage thrall, but for the most part, what the music lacks in rowdiness it makes up for in emotional complexity.

    Some bands adjust their sound for the better, while others tinker with a successful formula merely for change’s sake. Goon unquestionably falls in the former category, making Hour of Green Evening an unanticipated and compelling listen.
