  • Summary: The debut full-length album for the New Zealand quartet was produced by Bernard Butler.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 2 out of 9
  2. Negative: 0 out of 9
  1. In their slightly glib mastery of pop-song forms, and their apparent belief that great pop music can be forged through sheer force of will, Cut Off Your Hands sometimes recall Bloc Party. The difference, thankfully, is that Nick Johnston seems far more appraochable and grounded.
  2. Glowing tunes about romance and childhood memories abound on You and I, a hopped-up album of caffeinated power pop that is spiked with a lot of youthful kvetching.
  3. Through it’s lean 39-minute run time, You & I holds strong to a keen sense of melody. [Winter 2009]
  4. You and I's stranger moments reveal that Cut Off Your Hands have more personality than the album's more tasteful songs suggest.
