May 19, 2011They have always written insanely short, catchy pop songs in the modern idiom, and, for those looking for the one line post mortem, Innings doesn't just not disappoint, it delights.
-
Jun 1, 2011Perfect turn-your-brain-off summertime entertainment, Innings fights the good fight against underground music becoming overly respectable or professional.

Jul 28, 2011Innings succeeds as a minor expansion and development of the band's essential sound, and it's a progression that makes clear sense.

May 19, 2011Innings proves underground pop is still very much alive, and Nodzzz have made an album that strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and intelligently applied craft; they've made it a whole lot of fun, too.
