    They have always written insanely short, catchy pop songs in the modern idiom, and, for those looking for the one line post mortem, Innings doesn't just not disappoint, it delights.

    Perfect turn-your-brain-off summertime entertainment, Innings fights the good fight against underground music becoming overly respectable or professional.

    It might not be your cup of tea, but there's little denying its charm.

    Innings proves underground pop is still very much alive, and Nodzzz have made an album that strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and intelligently applied craft; they've made it a whole lot of fun, too.

    Innings succeeds as a minor expansion and development of the band's essential sound, and it's a progression that makes clear sense.

    Since Nodzzz songs rely mostly on sporadic ruminations, they communicate much more effectively when a satisfying guitar riff surprises as opposed to when they build an entire song on little life tidbits that don't amount to much.

    It's charming in small doses, but the album often comes off sounding something like a high school equivalent of They Might Be Giants. [May 2011, p.88]
