    Really like this album. Gang of Youths show again they're quality. Australia is already convinced.

    A wonderful album that should make the band huge stars. It's August & Everything After meets White Ladder meets Yankee Hotel Foxtrot meets Carrie & Lowell. Highly recommended.

    A lesson in storytelling. From grandiose songs to strip down intimate family-centred stories, Le'aupepe and Gang of Youths strike again with one of the best albums of the last 5 years.

    Con un inicio cargado de energía, Cannonball te hace querer escuchar todo el álbum, bajandoun poco al pop, BoysLie tiene esa onda actual con toques de producciones de los 2000's, sin duda podría haber más de 4 sencillos en este álbum, BiteMe se posiciona como un excelente primer protagonista, LIWYHM te conecta a las próximas entregas del álbum, como lo es LoveSux, otro gran acierto paraCon un inicio cargado de energía, Cannonball te hace querer escuchar todo el álbum, bajandoun poco al pop, BoysLie tiene esa onda actual con toques de producciones de los 2000's, sin duda podría haber más de 4 sencillos en este álbum, BiteMe se posiciona como un excelente primer protagonista, LIWYHM te conecta a las próximas entregas del álbum, como lo es LoveSux, otro gran acierto para este material, volvemos a sentir energia, tintes de pop y por supuesto, la voz en la interpretación te hace sentir el **** por el amor... Hasta aquí la atención al ritmo es primordial, empezamos la senguda mitad con un poco de honestidad y letras mas reales y parecido a lo que abril nos tiene acostumbrados como es el caso de KMLTWIE, Avalanchesy daré to love me… Collapse

    With Angel in Realtime, Gang of Youths have elevated their work to new echelons of arena rock potential. Listening to it from start to finish is something genuinely satisfying.

    Outwardly, Gang of Youths’ third album is one about grief – specifically the grief stemming from the death of Le’aupepe’s father. But more than that, it’s a moving and deeply personal exploration of the innate flaws of the human condition; of failing the ones you love despite your best intentions, and of falling apart and beginning the slow and painful process of piecing yourself back together again afterwards.

    Dig into it deeper and you’ll find a surprisingly rewarding account tell-all that sounds like an extraordinary premise to a film. And the score they write for themselves, as thrilling as it is, can be somewhat overwrought at times, resulting in an aural mood that could've used some dramatic nuance.
