Oct 31, 2015Fun album. Cool to hear Berninger's voice in front of funkier, poppier music than with The National. Really consistently good album throughout. No Time To Crank The Sun, It's A Game, and Sad Case/Happiness are quite special tracks indeed. Grade: A

Dec 5, 2015Solid release, it's been on pretty heavy rotation since I got it. There are really no dud songs on this one.
I was probably attracted to this album more from Menomena's Brent Knopf than the National's Matt Berninger since I know Menomena better. I'd say it has representative elements of each band and look forward to future collaborations. -

Nov 17, 2015Too often, though, Return to the Moon seems stuck in place. It’s as if Berninger and Knopf are too relaxed for their own good; the album feels more tossed off than anything else.

Nov 11, 2015The result is a collection of upbeat indie rock songs that brings out the very best in both players.

Nov 3, 2015Not giving a little more is a problem that hangs over the end of the album, and for some of the more rabid fans of The National it’s something that they’ll consider a problem for the entirety of Return To The Moon. There are some bright and poignant moments here though, but, like the majority of The National’s work, the depths of the album may take a while to become apparent.
