    When a band decides to go with an eponymously titled release several albums into an established career, it often works as a statement about reclaiming their identity, or making a new creative start. If that's the case here, the Neighbourhood have done both with their own cool aplomb.

    Musically, The Neighbourhood continues in the same realm as their past work. It's moody, down-tempo rock with a little R&B; tinge: think sad Weeknd with occasional synths leads and a little Auto-Tuned Kanye thrown in.

    The only time the Neighbourhood really comes to life here is on the disc’s final track, refreshingly summery toe-tapper “Stuck With You.” That track aside, this release will do little to convince critics that the Neighbourhood is anything more than Maroon 5’s monochromatic photo negative, and about as intriguing as that descriptor suggests.

    The Neighbourhood is as ponderous as any forgotten post-grunge also-ran record selling for one cent on Amazon.

Es sin duda este álbum un claro ejemplo de su evolución musical; en lo personal, extraño sus sonidos más oscuros, como los de I Love You, pero es agradable que la banda expanda sus horizontes. No pierden su estilo y evitan la monotonía.
    Excelente trabajo.    … Expand
