    I absolutely adore Vampire Weekend and Chris Tomson's contributions as a drummer. However, this album is unbelievably dull with musical ideas that don't seem to suggest much and lyrics that are half-baked attempts at the witty wisdom of Vampire Weekend bandmate Ezra Koenig.

    A stodgy production job from Patrick Carney of The Black Keys means his songs tend to blur into one. [Apr 2017, p.26]

    Some tracks, like Pretty Good WiFi, fail to hit the spot leaving the singer somewhat exposed at times. Still, with his parent band said to be writing album number four, it won’t hurt to add another string to the bow.

    At its best, Youngish American exists at the nexus of day-job classics ‘Giving Up the Gun’ and ‘Unbelievers’, offering glimpse of Chris’ massive potential to be an engaging solo star.
