    This band manages to reimagine itself every time they make an ep/ album, yet they sound like nothing else. On this album, they reveal their most raw, in-your-face energy with several experimental twists. Unique sounds here... they shine strong

    The problem with Headful of Sugar isn’t that it’s bad. It’s that if a band is going to tell people one more time that, “Nothing in this life is really free”, they’d better have a profound, distinctive way of doing it, and Headful of Sugar doesn’t quite get there.

    At no point does Headful of Sugar come off as cynical, though the central premise falls apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny: This is a largely beloved, well-connected, and unabashedly accessible rock band trying to be convincing as the voice of outcasts obeying their most reckless impulses.

    With Headful of Sugar, Sunflower Bean turn the pangs of growing up into hypnotic, intoxicating pop.
