May 14, 2017With their ambitious combination of orchestral and synthetic timbres, along with their wonderful doctoring of simple harmonic structures, Foxygen creates a worthwhile sophisticated pop album that should help grow their name and their subsection of pop. My Score: 137/180 (Solid) = 7.6/10

Feb 9, 2017An audacious album, but that's what Foxygen is all about. A great send up of 70's pomp but done with sincerity. A lot of critics thought Star Power was a mess, but now sounds like it makes perfect sense in Foxygen's master plan.

Feb 1, 2017A solid listen for indie-rock lovers and a must listen for anyone who is a fan of the bombastic orchesral style of Queen or any contemporary alternative groups that embrace the grandiose sound. This album has a much more cohesive vision than its predecessors and is probably Foxygen's best to date, which is reassuring to see after it looked like they might discontinue after "And Star Power."

Jan 22, 2017In my opinion, an absolutely perfect album that epitomizes everything right about the over-indulgent, theatrical rock and roll of the 1970s, employing Jagger-esque vocals and Beatles-y instrumentals and tongue-in-cheek pastiche to a wonderful effect.

Jan 20, 2017An enormous sound is accompanied by image-invoking lyrics and it all equates to a rather splendid record, and one which is bound to reward multiple listens (simply due to the amount of things going on). Back on top form.

Jan 20, 2017Got to say, I like the album, it is better than most I have listed to really, and IMO better than "And Star Power".
However, (slight criticism) for most of the listen I felt like too many instruments were being thrown at my eardrums.
Roll on the new MGMT.

Feb 13, 2017Hang appears as an album of ambition that outdoes itself so spectacularly that it appears as a jazzed up, Disney-esque caricature of its own end product.
-
Jan 25, 2017As it stands, Hang isn’t an unpleasant listen, but it’s an oddly frustrating one.
-
Jan 23, 2017It’s overwhelming in its grandiosity, and though it has its virtues, Foxygen’s latest LP is best enjoyed as a bite-size hors d'oeuvre instead of a main course.
