Apr 25, 2013Maybe it’s a struggle to really get your teeth into Mosquito because of the track listing; the three song dry patch after Mosquito is a huge problem considering the ease these days of being able to find something more interesting to listen to.
-
Apr 22, 2013Mosquito may conjure a similar frenzy to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' previous three albums, but it paints a disjointed picture of the band's turbulent history, on an already messy canvass
-
Apr 17, 2013The payoffs don’t always resonate with the pineal, which should be the one thing worth counting on from the band.
-
Apr 15, 2013The problem is, for a band whose name echoes with the affirmative, none of this feels like a definitive lunge towards some loftier height, either artistic or commercial.
-
Apr 15, 2013Mosquito is not without highlights, but it requires some patience to unearth them, because when this record is bad, it's loudly, brazenly bad.
-
Apr 12, 2013Divided between these sorts of small successes and outright failures, Mosquito is nowhere near a coherent album, which at this stage in the band's career feels like a refreshing return to form.
-
Apr 10, 2013So, all in all: not a bad album, but most of the time it’s more harmless midge than lethal mosquito.

Apr 10, 2013With the experiments being so hit and miss you’re left looking for familiar thrills, but even when delivering these, the band sound so much like there are motions to be gone through that you just aren’t inclined to feel engaged.
