    Mostly HAIM zero in on what they do best, and the result is a simple and staggering ode to the joy and craftsmanship of American pop.
  2. The end result is a record rooted in the bass flicks, shimmering synths and lovelorn lyrics that defined their debut.

    Handily, 70s soft rock is a well-worn vector for such feelings. And if there is a nit to pick with Something to Tell You, it is that Haim’s balance of R&B and soft rock has leaned too far in favour of blowsy wallowing, and away from R&B’s clever sonic feints and tough-girl postures.

    Although littered with incandescent beams of hyper-melody--extending a hand to the youth of 2013’s ‘Days Are Gone’, Something To Tell You is patient and moves at its own, night-unending pace, where Californian sister act Este, Danielle, and Alana surf some kind of strange paradise between love and loss.

    As a recorded artifact, the album falls short of providing a greater realization of the band’s honest potential, losing its better threads in a clutter of noise too loosely woven together to enhance the intended tapestry.

    A sense of sisterhood is a huge part of Haim’s appeal, yet the humorous camaraderie and rocky swagger they present on stage all but vanishes in the studio.

    These songs are as limp as long-lost lettuce, several of them barely meriting the appellation “song” at all.

    "Something to tell you" takes us to a journey where each song shows us how complicated is to love and be loved... This 4 years of waiting"Something to tell you" takes us to a journey where each song shows us how complicated is to love and be loved... This 4 years of waiting have been worthy, with an album that shows us another face of these sisters with not so catchy songs but insted the soul behind the the creativity of their music, songs like "Right Now" and "NIght So Long" are great example of these...
    It's tough to choose only one favorite but if i have to do it i will probably pick "Walking Away"
    10 of 10 for this piece of art

    Not a bad album by any means, just disappointing. The production is great as expected,
    and the album holds together very well, but the big hooks that made Days Are Gone so great are mostly missing IMO. I think we had already heard the best songs of the album before it even came out. Standouts for me are Want You Back, Little Of Your Love, Walking Away and You Never Knew.

This album is kind of far from their debut album, starting with the fact that is more pop than rock. They did a really good job with the voices in every song, giving it a sound experience that is joyful. Also, those sounds from the pop music from 80's and 90's work really well in almost every tune. The problem with this album is that they are really soft with what they're trying to say in their lyrics and it feels some kind of sweet and soft (even when it is not), but the real problem here is that they get repetitive in nearly all songs, specially in the chorus. By and large, this album has good ideas carried out, but those ideas does not work in all of the songs, making these album sort of stodgy at some point of the path. Expand
