    The album is rich in texture but light on memorable melodies.

    He seeks to boldly chase his pop-music idols, which hits the mark only about half the time. But when he doesn't, at least it's a glorious miss. [No. 95, p.56]

    Oak Island might not bloom at the supposed crossroads of art and science (fiction), but it’s a pleasant enough take on the reconciliation of nostalgia with the desire for adult life.

    An album that’s easy to enjoy yet difficult to fall in love with.

    Oak Island has a deftness that makes it hard to resist, but some songs disappear under the weight of everything that's transpiring.
