May 7, 2017Brilliant as usual. Colosseums, Play Money, Avalanche Alley,... lots of great songs. NP records are always "growers" -- they need a few listens to reveal their brilliance. This record has a lot going on vocally. On heavy rotation...

May 16, 2017Time after time after time did these melodies infuse the music with brilliance, identity, and personality, and although similar in sound and purpose these songs all reached a wonderfully high level in sensational delight, which makes this an awesome work that I will certainly be considering for best album of the year. My Score: 157/180 (Great) = 8.7/10

Nov 15, 2017The New Pornographers’’ songs have always been swift, busy little things for the most part, that’s a large part of their joy, and even if some of the more overt ebullience has been toned down here, the richly arpeggioed repetitions and steady melodic sense on display here means that, “bubblegum Krautrock” or no, this is still heady, catchy stuff.

MagnetApr 14, 2017Even in the more sedate moments, there's an underlying insistence that ties the 11-track set together in a typically neat package that sits comfortably and appropriately in one of rock's greatest band catalogs. [No. 141, p.58]

Q MagazineApr 12, 2017The band seem to be pushing their hi-spec power-indie as far as it can go. [Jun 2017, p.110]
