Mar 21, 2014Love Letters is more mature, doleful and disconnected from club trends.
-
Mar 19, 2014Love Letters [is] not quite a glorious failure, but more of an intermittently-glorious muddle.
-
Mar 18, 2014There’s a nagging feeling that those derivative misses aren't so much accidental misfires as born out of a writer keen to remain free of the pressures of success. That prevents a promising record from being as good as it had the potential to be.
-
Mar 14, 2014Like a vivid dream melting away in the first few minutes of morning, Love Letters has an uncanny beauty, but one that remains firmly out of reach.
-
Mar 11, 2014Mostly miserable on their perpetual holiday, Metronomy at least manage to let some sunshine in.
-
Mar 10, 2014Metronomy must have many more experimental ideas to sift through before settling down with any one particular sound, just failing to come up with a compelling, powerful way to tell this story.
-
Mar 10, 2014If only the rest of the record caught on to that out-front force--the words on Love Letters might scan as more than lonely fridge-magnet poetry, the beats might feel like more than just placeholders, and the music could be something to dance to instead of just drift off to.
-
Mar 10, 2014The bulk of Love Letters, though, backs off from the glittering mainstream superhighway on to a road less travelled.
-
Mar 6, 2014It is perhaps testament to his [Joe Mount's] unwitting dedication to being coy and British that Love Letters is the quartet's most indie and foppish-sounding album yet.
