    Its been well worth the wait for The Thrills 3rd record Teenager, its a work of art, I love the melodies and the lyrics, the mandilon brings that extra magic to the songs. Its great to have the 3 records, each one different but with the great difinitive stamp of The Thrills through them:-) I bought the special edition which has a 70 minute DVD called The End of Innocence, was great to Its been well worth the wait for The Thrills 3rd record Teenager, its a work of art, I love the melodies and the lyrics, the mandilon brings that extra magic to the songs.

Well worth the purchase and if you don't own the first 2 records you should buy them too just to see the great diversity and talent of this great band!… Expand

    Grows on you with every listen. There most impressive album to date, despite not having as many stand-out singles. Too many reviewers will give it one listen and think same 'ol same 'ol. Pity.

    Unusually for a Teenager, this album has taken a long time to come.

    Teenager is as flat as the Mojave Desert, and, like a fusty pastel sweater bought as a birthday present, it's cosy yet bland.

    Musically, their songs are too brightly bland, so obviously designed for mass consumption and uplift that the tinny guitars and twinkling piano melodies end up sounding cheap.
