Mar 30, 2016The complexity of some of the arrangements and the bouncy danceability of most of the songs make it easy to overlook the lyrics initially, but with repeated listens they start sinking in.
-
Feb 29, 2016Equally sensual and challenging, it's the work of a band capable of commitment as well as grand gestures.
-
Feb 19, 2016Come the curtain call closer of ‘Push’, it’s evident to see Love Yes serves as the most iridescent article of TEEN’s discography--a crowning jewel that’s wildly flamboyant on first impression yet deeply personal upon closer inspection.
-
Feb 16, 2016The album is a significant step forward for TEEN; a dozen bright burning arguments that you can have your cake and eat it too with articulate, deeply felt but undeniably fun pop music.
-
UncutFeb 11, 2016Love Yes is a dazzling electronic set that throbs with energy and emits a sensual glow befitting its focus on love, desire and sexuality. [Mar 2016, p.81]
-
Feb 11, 2016TEEN has been a solid band for several years, but Love Yes has almost certainly elevated them to being a great one.
-
Feb 11, 2016Uplifting and electric, Love Yes is a blast.
-
Feb 17, 2016Chalk it up as another transitional album of sorts; Love Yes has TEEN well on their way if they’re not already there.
-
Feb 12, 2016In trying to break away from synth-pop cliche, the quartet sometimes ends up simply overdoing the songs. Yet the band's mastery of contrasting textures remains impressive (versatile rhythm section, a chameleon-like keyboardist), and Teeny Lieberson's voice meets every challenge.
-
Mar 14, 2016Love Yes feels like a radical step forward for the Brooklyn-based group. It’s a coming of age struggle wrapped in the slick, veneer of Eighties glamour, and ultimately TEEN’s synth-pop dreams are hard to beat.
-
Feb 24, 2016Love Yes is a remarkable step forward for TEEN, blending the stylistic influences of their first two records to present a seamless and singular voice.
-
Feb 24, 2016Love Yes flings the sound skyward and waits to hear what bounces back. The pop haze of In Limbo, the bounce and blip of The Way and Color are rebroadcast as a symphony for synths and hi-hat.
-
Feb 22, 2016Love Yes is a memorable listen, if just a bit too busy at times.
-
Feb 22, 2016That impulse to complicate is thankfully mediated more thoroughly and evenly on Love Yes than on previous efforts, only poking through here and there. It is also striking that this very complex album was recorded entirely live; the music seethes with precarious energy.
-
Feb 11, 2016As long as Love Yes relies on these simple yet effective tricks, it goes down like rock candy, the sweetness undercut by a compellingly sour sting. Only when the band tries to match the lyrics’ complexity with the music does the album begin to falter.
-
MagnetFeb 12, 2016The lyrics are often buried in the mix. [No. 128, p.61]
