  • Summary: This is the Swedish indie rock quartet's second full-length album.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 7
  2. Negative: 0 out of 7
  1. Spring Tides is a success partly because it is consistent in sound and structure, but it still manages to slip through a variety subtle mood changes and elicit several emotional reactions from its listeners. Jeniferever should gain some fans with this.
  2. Amongst the other songs of Spring Tides it only serves to pull you further under the hypnotic spell of Jeniferever.
  3. Uncut
    80
    Jeniferever rise above cliches with 10 beautiful songs that take the Sigur Rose blueprint and expand on it. [May 2009, p.89]
  4. Overall, Spring Tides is the record Jeniferever have undoubtedly spent the past thirteen years of their existence building towards; an epochal moment that was well worth the wait, and can only whet the appetite in further anticipation of where their next journey of discovery will take them--in their own time, of course.
  5. Jeniferever shows some serious potential on this album, but much of it remains to be realized.
  6. It is the sheer imposing length of nearly every one of the ten songs here--only the uncharacteristically forthright 'Sparrow Hills' manages to keep the running time under five minutes, while most of the other songs are content to wind on well beyond that--is ultimately what ends up turning Spring Tides into something of a chore when it should be gently captivating.
