  • Summary: The debut album from the Orange County quartet led by professional surfer Alex Knost.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 0 out of 5
  2. Negative: 1 out of 5
  1. Though this album shows that Japanese Motors are on to something good, they'd be a lot better if they tried just a little harder.
  2. 60
    Japanese Motors’ debut is a solid dose of garage pop, but chances are, it won’t change your life.
  3. 60
    A good time, if not a terribly memorable one.
  4. Amid the sobering headlines explaining the collapse of high finance and a heated presidential election, Japanese Motors feels superfluous, not sunny.
  5. The debut's boring, not awful, but until the band stops sounding like they have a hundred cooler things to do than be in a studio, it's hard to imagine them as anything more than surf muzak.
