Jul 26, 2019Fever Dream is perfectly listenable, but missing the magic spark that made them smash successes when they first emerged.
-
Jul 25, 2019There is no song on Fever Dream that is likely to eclipse, or even cast a shadow on the success of “Little Talks”, but this is a soothing, affable record nonetheless.

Jul 26, 2019Channelling zeitgeisty pop is by no means always a bad thing; but when omitting the earwormy choruses it needs - and removing your own personality in the process, it’s only ever going to fall a bit limp.

Jul 24, 2019The album is fun and enjoyable, but it never really reaches what they are capable of as a dynamic group. Every song bleeds into the next, almost sounding the same. It's not the worst feature ever, but as a collection, it doesn't stick out as anything exceptional.
-
Jul 24, 2019The fireside warmth that made songs like “Dirty Paws” and “Human” feel so intimate has dissipated in favor of squeaky-clean production, leaving the album feeling generic and non-specific.

Jul 27, 2019Went from original, folky Icelandic pop with magic and charm, to overly bland attempts at top 40. Hugely disappointing.
