EinarJ.May 4, 2008Sometimes, you love something about this album, other times you're wondering what you liked. 'Close Call' and 'Silver Lining' are the best tracks. 'Smoke Detecter' is atrocious.

DanA.Sep 19, 2007This sucks bananas. A wonderful band, a terrible album. While i doubt this is the Liz Phairification of Rilo Kiley, it sure sounds like it.

ChrisCAug 23, 2007Booooring. Pitchfork accused them of ironically courting mainstream. But this isn't bad because it's more mainstream-ish. It's bad because it's boring and lame.

Yes, the beats are big and the sound is mainstream and commercial; however, the band sound restrained and uncomfortable.
-
Under The Blacklight is by far and away the most accessible album that Rilo Kiley have ever made.
-
Every one of the eleven songs attached to Blacklight is a stunner in purely musical terms.
