    Among all the weak albums of January so far by artists given high rankings despite having nothing but trite cliches to spout, here's the first strong album of the year by a band that has distilled detailed observations of life, imparting from imagination allied with experience!

    In general, it is not a bad album, not even mediocre. Kiwi Jr. succeeds in giving an indie rock sound that reminisces legendary bands of the same genre of the past three or four decades. However, I'd love them to be even more mature, addressing many more themes except for the coming-of-age turbulent life in the big city.

    The album is downright pleasant with fun riffs and quality lyricism. When you think indie rock, this is the stuff you think of. Ultimately you'll enjoy it when you listen to it and enjoy revisits. There is nothing earth-shattering about this record. It's just good.

    Por alguna razón este álbum se escucha muy repetitivo y reciclado, sin mucho enfoque y con problemas de creatividad. Son pocas canciones las que se escuchan atractivas, pero su desarrollo poco a poco revela pesades, monotonía y ningún diferenciador. Lo único que podría mantener a flote el álbum es el hecho de que es accesible y un buen ambientalizador de fondo. - For some    ( 71/100 )

    For some reason, I hear this album very repetitive and recycled, with not much focus and with creativity problems. Few songs are heard with attractiveness, but their development little by little reveals to be heavy, monotone and with no differentiator. The only thing that could keep the album on float is the fact that the music is easy to listen to and a good background ambient.    … Expand

    There is so much potential for this band after this debut album. It is very solid from start to end. The lyrics are whimsical and the instrumentation is full of surprise twists that makes Kiwi Jr. one of the indie bands to watch for in the coming years. It is definitely the best album I've heard out of the January releases so far after the disappointments from big names like Selena GomezThere is so much potential for this band after this debut album.

    Really nice album, all songs are catchy and the riffs are cool. Salary Man, Murder in the Cathedral, and Gimme More are standouts.

    Kiwi jr’s debut album is an all around solid record, filled with so many bangers and anthemic songs. One of my all time favourites.

    While stuffing itself with enough insight to force its listeners to acknowledge contemporary issues, also present is enough charm and wit to remind us of the importance to having a little fun along the way.

    Much like some of their aforementioned peers, you might wonder what all the fuss is about, but it shouldn’t take too long before you see that there’s a lot to like.
