UncutMar 12, 2014The sound they've fashioned is glossy and supersaturated while still exhibiting the subversive impulse that yielded the supremely catchy but subtly sinister smash "Pumped Up Kicks." [Apr 2014, p.74]
-
Mar 21, 2014Forward isn’t always better. But for Foster the People, on Supermodel, it was the right direction.
-
Mar 27, 2014Hook-laced in all the right places, melodic, rhythmic, intelligent, addictive and slightly quirky: they don’t skimp on any of the ingredients here.
-
Mar 12, 2014Although Supermodel is derivative, it’s more often inventively imitative, rather than devolving into out-and-out mimicry.
-
Mar 18, 2014The crux is the album’s smothering, reverb-heavy, more-is-more production style, which smooths over some of the off-kilter quirks that made Torches’ sprawl so alluring.
-
Mar 24, 2014This is an album that suffers from having altogether too much surface and not nearly enough substance.
-
Alternative PressMar 12, 2014Umpteen attempts at serious lyrics topple this album right off the runway. [Apr 2014, p.91]

Mar 21, 2014None of these songs are catchy. There are no potential hit singles in this bunch. I am afraid this group is going to turn out to be a one-hit wonder.
