    3 years since T&S's Heartthrob album and in all that time we get a new album that makes it barely over 31 minutes in length. And it's 31 minutes of horrid bubble-gum pop. We're still trying to figure out what the lyrics to "Boyfriend" actually imply. It's a confusing album for their equally confused fans. Popsters need only apply.

    This is overdone pop garbage that will recieve critical attention and praise because it's two women making the music. How about we hold genders to equal standards? Or is that "sexist". Actually, i really want to know how long it took them to come up with "When did I become that girl I see"? Like wow, so introspective and deep that you might compare yourself to another human being goingThis is overdone pop garbage that will recieve critical attention and praise because it's two women making the music. How about we hold genders to equal standards? Or is that "sexist". Actually, i really want to know how long it took them to come up with "When did I become that girl I see"? Like wow, so introspective and deep that you might compare yourself to another human being going through most of the same experiences and emotions that you do! Such a daring and bold comparison.

    4/10 only because it's well produced and mastered.

    Love You to Death IS solid. In a way, it’s sort of like those now-cherished, then forgotten, 80s downtempo pop albums ala the first Human League and Modern English LPs.

    The Quins bring pathos and depth to sleek Katy Perry/Lady Gaga-esque electropop, true, but reaching for the golden ring too often dilutes the inventiveness and creative abandon that once made a new T&S record such an exhilarating proposition. [No. 132, p.59]

    Despite these obligatory comparisons to their 2013 effort, though, Love You to Death is ultimately its own beast, one that finds Tegan and Sara working effectively with confessional songwriting and further developing their enthusiasm for synthpop’s visceral pleasures.
