Sep 13, 2012Toy manage to be psychedelic and craft memorable pop.

Sep 10, 2012What 'TOY' lacks in originality, it more than makes up for with an incredibly rich dot-to-dot of psychedelia laced musical education, and this album is, to coin an awful new musical genre, Nu-new-wave at its very best.
-
Sep 6, 2012If the dips into shoegaze and 1980s "sound and fury" rock sound familiar, pop hooks placed at surprising moments means they sound refreshing more than reheated.
-
Sep 18, 2012This album still contains some of the strongest pop songs of the past few years, plus evidence of a restless, experimental desire to keep moving on that makes you hungry to hear what they're going to do next.
-
Sep 26, 2012What their self-titled debut lacks in innovation, it makes up for in spirit, its 12 barn-burning tracks accurately capturing a sense of youthful zeitgeist.

Sep 12, 2012There's definitely a familiarity to their sound, but once you get past the derivativeness of it all, there's much to like about Toy.
