  1. Stylus Magazine
    91
    Barnes has created some utterly brilliant compositions, captured a perfect blend of melodic energy and sincerity while never sacrificing catchiness, and has used both achievements to create one of this year's most cathartically fun albums.
  2. Delusions of Adequacy
    90
    The Sunlandic Twins is a dizzying, exhilarating, and almost endlessly fun ride, breezy almost to a fault, romantic and lighthearted.
  3. Uncut
    60
    For all this sonic broad-mindedness, the Twins' ideas are piled on a lightweight core, and good luck making sense of the lyrics. [Jul 2005, p.104]

    Dreadful forced zaniness pervades this record while is so unrecognizable from their best work that it's best avoided. The hipsters will love it, but they probably also won't be wondering where the tunes and lyrics have gone.… Expand
