    They sound like a pub soul covers band allowed to let rip on a few originals.

    When Various Cruelties gets just the right balance, the sound is beautiful to listen to, and would be perfect for soundtrack for summer.

    Radio-friendly insipidness.

    Some albums grow with repeated listens; this isn't one of them.

    This eponymous debut is a well-rounded effort for a band that clearly has a knack for stadium-filling melodies and angst-ridden confessions. Anthemic in most parts and enjoyable in all, Various Cruelties deliver a debut that's moving and memorable.
