    Walk Off the Earth sound too derivative for their own good and the few spots of light here and there (“Speeches” which carries a surprisingly good horn section and “Summer Vibe” which, while as generic a summer reggae song as you could imagine, is the one moment where the band sound relaxed) aren’t enough to save the album from mediocrity.

    Their debut feels equally crowdsourced for maximum popularity, but fractures under its many moods.

    On top of the super covers they publish, their albums offer a rich, happy and varied set of songs that you can’t get out of your head.
    Go and see them on tour, their energy and generosity with the crew is just unbelievable.
    REVO is their first official record containing their most famous cover (Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”) and 11 original songs.
    Definitely worth a try!    … Full Review »

They are the liveliest, most energetic, and probably most talented live band I've ever seen. Needless to say, I was really excited for this album, and when I finally got to listen to it, I was more than a little disappointed. Walk Off The Earth cut its teeth making creative music videos and imaginative covers of famous songs, and this tendency towards the 'single' format is evident. This is not so much an album as it is a collection of songs (albeit mostly very good songs) thrown together for the purpose of selling an album. I especially did not like the inclusion of "Somebody That I Used to Know". However, they are unbelievable musicians and very talented writers/composers. Listen to this album as if your iPod were on shuffle.

    Favorite song: "Sometimes", with its changing cadences and alternation between Gianni's raspy raps and Sarah's crystal-clear bridge.    … Full Review »
