Apr 22, 2016Bird changed up the backing group from his previous three records and picked a producer he worked with during 2005 solo breakthrough, The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. The result of all this makes Are You Serious arguably his best, at least since Eggs.

Apr 4, 2016It's accessible, creative, and honest- everything art wishes it could be.

MojoMar 28, 2016Are You Serious is goosebump thrilling and deeply moving. It's also warm and funny, even in its darkest moments. [May 2016, p.93]

Apr 7, 2016There is some devastating music on Are You Serious, and there is some beautiful music, too; often these passages are one and the same. It sounds like a natural progression for Andrew Bird, yet in places it’s like nothing you’d expect from the singer. It is, for these reasons and many more, a triumph.
-
Mar 28, 2016Are You Serious isn’t perfect by any stretch, but on this record, Andrew Bird has compiled 11 good songs. Every track is well-produced. Every track has competent lyrics. Every track is melodically solid. Every track exhibits Bird’s impressive performing abilities (the things he does with a violin are incredible). Every track is individually memorable.
-
Apr 6, 2016Still curious, still appraising, Bird offers an intellect remarkably porous to change.

Apr 1, 2016Unfortunately, the highlights here are exceptions rather than the rule.
