Jul 28, 2014Underestimated by critics, this album (at its own sake) turns out to be a thousand times more cohesive, complex and original than its predecessor Torches - and that is a lot to say.
-
Apr 3, 2014Foster the People comes back two years later after there first debut with this. There overall sound is different, straying away from the darker "Torches." "Supermodel" has great sound with a deeper meaning that some listeners might miss for just some random guy singing in a kick ass falsetto. This album beats "Torches" by a long shot.

Apr 5, 2014If given time, this album develops into something great. It's not better than Torches, it's definitely not worse than Torches; it's different. I applaud Foster for venturing into new territory while keeping their identity. The more listens, the better it gets.

Jun 25, 2018Just because an album doesn't have a standout hit song, doesn't mean it's a fantastic album.

Mar 18, 2014Foster the People's sophomore effort isn't as innocent or catchy as Torches, but it's a lot better than a bunch of other offerings in the industry today. Its a diverse album in which Foster the People try to find their groove.

Mar 19, 2014This album is a lot better if you've been a fan of Foster The People ever since Torches.

Mar 18, 2014It's a good album. It's not even close to being as smooth or unique as Torches, but it provides a solid follow up. Torches was so different that it didn't surprise me when Supermodel slipped into slightly more familiar territory. Still, it's a pretty good listen.
-
Mar 19, 2014This album is a proof that Foster the People are experimenting new sounds and ways that show that they are growing up. This is no Torches #2, but this album is still a perfect indie-pop experience! My favorite tracks in the album are Best Friend and Pseudologia Fantastica.
SCORE: 9/10 -

Sep 8, 2014Such an underrated band. Someday people will look back to Foster the People and really understand how big they were. The next big bands are taking notes on this incredible album for sure.

Jun 16, 2017We see a more mature record of FTP, questioning about self conciousness, aspirations, society. It may have no to be the supper mellow lyrics and cheerful vibe of Torches, but the coming of age is for everyone. and this is the FTP one. The atmosphere of the album is completely different too, with a little more diversity and discover of new territories.

Jul 10, 2022I think "Torches" is good and all, but for me "Supermodel" is arguably the best of the band

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.
