    I can listen to this album all the way through, on several different days in the week. There are VERY few albums I can do that with these days. Their harmonies are forged in blood. Love it.

    I can listen to this CD multiple times and never get tired of it. It always seems to put me in a great mood.

    So this is what guitar and power pop is all about. And what if the songs resemble past gems? They're all gems in their own right. It's very obvious to me: this is one of the albums of the decade (Well if you're a fan of Mouse On Mars then don't you even try to listen to it)

    this album is so brain destroying... sounds like tegan and sara sing with their noses pinched... extremely immature and annoying... perfect for any girl age 12-16... check out 1st and 2nd albums by this band and you will see how much this band has completely sold out... just like they said they would, in their own lyrics... "sign me up to sell me out"...

    Good music for hipsters, teenage girls and their mothers.

    This is a great record. Instantly accessable and full of gradual pleasures. I find this to be the best female pop-rock record to Liz Phair's self titled record. I am sure they hate the word "girlish" but Tegan and Sara are best described as maturing & girlish. They'll surprise you with their depth. This is a GREAT pop record, you can't go wrong with it.

    An amazingly addicting album! I had to get their old albums. Although not as consistent as So Jealous, they've been coming out with amazing stuff for several years. It's about time they get more notice.

    OK... The lyrics and arrangements may be a bit sophopmore and derivative, but this is some fuggin' catchy music. Pop/Rock at it's damn near finest. "Downtown" is one of the best lovesongs of all time.

    What IS there to like about this group? I mean, they could be worse, I suppose...but with grating vocals, repetitive song structures and ridiculously self-absorbed lyrics they could certainly be a lot better. Carrie Brownstein would shoot them one look and they'd melt into little puddles of power chords and bad haircuts.

    A bit on a digression from their last album but they're still trying.

    This is truly the most interesting CD I've heard in years, from start to finish. I'm positively addicted.

    The key to 'So Jealous' is that it's a mall-prancing hit jukebox but with, y'know proper non-bubblegum pop sensibilities.

    An instantly loveable collection of sky-punching, new wave pop glory. [May 2005, p.117]
  3. The Guardian
    80
    Vocally weaving and ducking, they drag up memories of Voice of the Beehive, or a Siamese version of Susannah Hoffs from the Bangles. What stops them becoming an annoying pop hydra is their unadorned directness and sharp pop hooks.
