Apr 24, 2018Considering this album had the impossible task of following Dear Science AND Cookie Mountain, I can see why it didn't quite live up to some people's expectations. But if you can refrain from comparison and listen to the album on it's own, it's quite incredible. Rest in peace Gerard Smith

Apr 22, 2011Honestly my favorite TVotR album. I re-listened to Dear Science even. One of my favorites of the year so far. I assume that with the death of their bassist they'll get back to a somber tone on their next album.

Apr 19, 2011Very enjoyable album. Just saw them live last week, the new material sounded especially crisp and clear. Though I'm not particularly fond of Will Do, the sequencing works very well, and the album maintains a beautiful atmosphere throughout.

Apr 19, 2011I've waited 3 years for this album. I believed Tv on the radio is rock solid, never fails. That's not correct as i see now. This is not what tv on the radio supposed to be. Am i deaf? I can't believe that's THE NEW ALBUM.

May 6, 2011Nine Types of Light is a damn good place for those of us as yet unfamiliar with TV on the Radio to start investigating one of the most adventurous bands around today. And I can guarantee that if you start here, you won't stop.
