    A well formed debut that tells the story of an ending relationship. Best songs are "It's all in Vain", "Weak" "Move Me" and "Deadwater". Give it a listen

    This album is a strong start to a, what is sure to be, fantastic music career. The vocals and the lyrics are incredible, and though it may have points that are less than that, the highlights far outweigh any of the "bad" tracks, though in reality, I don't feel there are any actually bad tracks on the album. From the beginning of the album, the songs start out strong with "It's All In Vain"This album is a strong start to a, what is sure to be, fantastic music career. The vocals and the lyrics are incredible, and though it may have points that are less than that, the highlights far outweigh any of the "bad" tracks, though in reality, I don't feel there are any actually bad tracks on the album. From the beginning of the album, the songs start out strong with "It's All In Vain" and "Deadwater," which was the band's first official single from the album. Both of these songs are definitely standouts on the album, with others being "Island," "All The Ways," "Move Me," and "Body." While songs like "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl" and "You're The Best" are good, but just not on par with the rest of the album. Overall, this album is a great starting point for this new band.… Expand

    Don't You is a very sweet and warm start for the band, who promises to go further on their next works. There are really great songs like It's All In Vain and Deadwater. Some of them are really cozy and plain.

    It's a melancholic album. One you want to listen to when your relationship is in a rough patch. Most of the songs have the same tone and are slower paced. It's the type of album you listen to when you're alone.

    The rest is beautiful, sure, and there's moments that are truly intoxicating where you just want to stop what you're doing and let it wash over you, but it's also an album that, once it reaches its end, sort of fades away. There's nothing here that really sticks with you for any longer than the album's duration.

    Accented by piano, glassy guitars, occasional strings and vocal harmonies inspired by ’90s R&B, the project’s highlights--“Deadwater,” “Weak” and “You’re the Best”--aren’t all that dissimilar from its lesser tracks: lovely, yet forgettable.

    Wet get one moment right--perfect, really--then stretch it out into an entire album on Don't You. The Brooklyn trio's debut draws power from a softly lurching weightlessness, the few seconds of suspended animation when the whole world falls away and you have few seconds of peace before gravity pulls you down.
