Mar 21, 2014I really like the singles from their previous effort, but I think this new release is a failure... Its does sounds like their TRIED to be original but Supermodel ends up displaying only a lack of inspiration and talent.

Mar 18, 2014While not being nearly on par with it predecessor, Supermodel is still a great album. The sound the have now is more glossy and slick than Torches, and the album pays tribute to artists such as David Bowie and The Kinks
My personal favorite on the album is Pseudologica Fantastica. -

Jul 8, 2014While I did enjoy most of the album I had to ask myself ,"What ever happened to them from 'Torches'?". Wb
hile I can understand that they want to try something new the rythms in some songs are just hard to get. But I will say that their lyrics are trasgressive as they try something new with this album -
Apr 23, 2014After not really getting into their previous album, the same happens here, but worse. By far worse than Torches, which did have some good tracks like Helena Beat, Pumped Up Kicks and Don't Stop. This overall does not. This album features unmemorable bland pop rock and little personality for the most part. Middle of the road.

Mar 19, 2014Supermodel hits different notes than Torches. Innovating and building seem to be the aim for this album as a whole. FTP didn't fail at such a thing, just didn't do it to the fullest degree. Torches was a little more fresh at it's time and Supermodel feels like a freshman release. Not bad, just not up with the times.

Apr 25, 2014I'm not thrilled at all with their anti-capitalist message but there are some good songs on this album. Fire Escape is by far the best; however, it can be easily found boring if you don't like this kind of music. Goats in Trees and the three singles (Coming of Age, Psuedologica Fantastica, Best Friend) are also very nice. However, the message of the album still leaves me uneasy

Apr 16, 2014If I were to describe Foster the people in one word it would be "fluffy." There are some neat lyrics an catchy moments, but nothing really happens and all I get is all of this is a vapid listen.

Mar 20, 2014Supermodel não foi tão bom como se esperava que fosse, porém o novo album contém algumas músicas que mostram uma mudança no estilo da banda, diferenciando do primeiro album, que ainda continua sendo melhor.

May 1, 2014Equally appropriately, with increased attention comes increased expectations and increased scrutiny, neither of which are met by this sophomore release.

MojoApr 23, 2014Much of Supermodel feels alienatingly dense. [May 2014, p.86]

Apr 4, 2014A couple of pseudo-anthems will likely nurse them through a handful of unearned headline gigs--but in all honesty, the world has no need for pop music this faceless, listless or sterile.
