    Goldsmith's artisan lyrics and guitar work on this album make it one to remember. He's poignant and crisp throughout every track and as a guitar player of over 20 years i have to envy his fresh take on guitar-driven roots rock on this effort. The songs are catchy, touching, heartbreaking, and imbued with a latent sense of hope. The band as a whole is tight and every composition isGoldsmith's artisan lyrics and guitar work on this album make it one to remember.

The songs are catchy, touching, heartbreaking, and imbued with a latent sense of hope. The band as a whole is tight and every composition is perfectly crafted. Can't say enough for this effort from Dawes. I've spun it a ton already and I know I'll keep coming back for years to come.… Expand

    I really like the way this record sounds. It's like they are standing right there playing for you. A solid set of songs from a tight band that just keeps getting better. This record doesn't push any boundaries but it's smart, catchy and really enjoyable. Go get it.

    I found this to be a solid album from start to finish. To be fair, I am a fan of Dawes anyway, but this record is tightly produced, with amazing lyrics, and shows that the band is really hitting their groove. A great listen.

    All Your Favorite Bands is warmer than its predecessor.... Yet the album still smacks of diminishing returns and an over-familiarity that Browne himself has never been completely able, or willing, to shake.

    A welcome return to the comfort zone of their first two releases after the dreary mid-tempo rock of 2013's Stories Don't End. [Aug 2015, p.93]

    Rock's thoughtful past has rarely sounded more vibrant.
