    A delightful blend of 70’s soft-pop and early-2000s coffeehouse, Mandy Moore’s latest album is an accomplishment in easy-listening, adult contemporary. It’s a breezy, spring day of a listen - with hints of Kacey Musgraves, Fleetwood Mac, and Jason Mraz - with enough pleasant surprises (the subtle sax on the album’s best track “Tryin’ My Best, Los Angeles” being one) to keep the listenerA delightful blend of 70’s soft-pop and early-2000s coffeehouse, Mandy Moore’s latest album is an accomplishment in easy-listening, adult contemporary. It’s a breezy, spring day of a listen - with hints of Kacey Musgraves, Fleetwood Mac, and Jason Mraz - with enough pleasant surprises (the subtle sax on the album’s best track “Tryin’ My Best, Los Angeles” being one) to keep the listener engaged while also enjoying the gentle touch of this lovely record. It’s cooking dinner in your kitchen on a summer night music, it’s enjoying a sunset on a lake music, enjoying a ride in the wooded mountains music - it’s joy manifested.… Expand

    I'm going 10 for this. I appreciate how refreshing it feels to listen tracks from Mandy Moore again. I can't really put it, but there's this mix of nostalgia and something new -- bringing me to a new Mandy and putting me back to that early 2000's memories.

    I remember listening to the Tangled soundtrack this march and then i wondered if Mandy Moore had put out any new music. And to my surprise she actually dropped one of my favourite albums released this year. Great lyrical work. amazing instrumental and great vocals

    A beautiful album on self-reflection and personal troubles. I am so proud of her and glad she plans on not taking any more breaks.

    Very very surprised. A genuinely good album with more than a feel of Casey Musgrave's to it. An infusion of Country folk and soft rock. Well put together. If you are expecting Mandy Moore from 1999 think again!

    From Wild Hope and Amanda Leigh... Silver Landings is the main dish! An album that is Gold! The opening Track I'd Rather Lose was a revelation great opener! Save a Little For Yourself is a song that you can sing all over and over again! Fifteen is a great story of how you've grown. On of the album high lights were Tryin My Best Los Angeles,Easy Target, Forgiveness and Stories RemindingFrom Wild Hope and Amanda Leigh... Silver Landings is the main dish! An album that is Gold!

    Only two songs were good "Tryin' My Best, Los Angeles" and "When I Wasn't Watching". The global sound really nice, but nothing impressive.

    The whole album kind of sounds like Fleetwood Mac, or at least descended from the same 1970s Los Angeles studios that incubated similarly crisp records by Jackson Browne and The Eagles, glassy marbles of sound with storm clouds of color swirling inside.

    Silver Landings is an intimate portrait of adulthood and a look at life on the other side of achieving fame at a young age. For audiences who grew up listening to artists like Moore, it's an absolute privilege to get to experience this glimpse into who she is now and how she got there.
