    Their first album on a major label and the major label influence shows. Their sound is definitely more pop-oriented now and while that works out well for some songs, I find the second half of the album to be really lacking.

    Things work better when they balance the impulse to hulk things up with their natural traditionalist intimacy.

    It’s perfectly passable, but everything that marked The Head and the Heart out as potentially exceptional has been buried.

    The execution is inarguably impressive, but the Head and the Heart have made much better music with simpler technique, and Signs of Light is the sort of album that confirms a fan's worst fears about an indie act signing with a corporate label.
